My fault, noted.

Do you think this is necessary? From my experience the non existing path
element (on Fedora) does no harm (no warnings, error messages or else).
On the other side removing it inside the keychain script will not break
anything on Fedora. I will include the %prep step.

I feel the changes to the man page are good. So thanks for
recommendation, I will apply the patch.

That indicates that testing with a KDE environment is necessary. I only
run Gnome and never had such an issue with keychain.

Thanks!
