In principle, I agree that with the current set of helper
implementations, the generic infrastructure may not yet pay off.

I'll try to give it a shot now, although I won't be able to test it.
I'll send the results as a single 5/4 addition to the previous series.

If we decide that the generic implementation is useful, I'll then resend
the reordered series adding the generic helper first, then refactoring
the existing ones and adding the new one for GnomeKeyring last.
