DBus cannot launch GNOME Keyring for the secrets service

Hi, I’m having a problem with gnome-keyring. I’ve added pam_gnome_keyring.so to my greeter’s PAM configuration, and it writes to the syslog that the keyring is unlocked, but when any program tries to use the org.freedesktop.secrets interface, dbus-daemon can’t start it and it timeouts. If i run /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets (as I can find in the dbus service file), it just says discover_other_daemon: 1, but it never prints any environment variable

EDIT: Apparently the fact that the environment variable is not printed is not a problem, the problem is that gnome-keyring-daemon exits even though --foreground is specified

EDIT 2: I think the problem arises at gkd-main.c:1083-1086 - gnome-keyring-daemon executes like normal, but somehow the name-vanished-handler is invoked immediately, which makes the main loop exit

In the end, it was because I didn’t have a running dbus session instance, g_bus_watch_name explicitly monitors only that instance instead of switching to the system bus when the user one isn’t available
