The (poorly worded) comment is referring to the version of glib that
is being tested by the pre-processor statements.  Since gnome-keyring
doesn't provide a way to test its version, and I'm not sure exactly
which gnome release included gnome-keyring 0.4.3 or which glib version
was distributed with which gnome version, I'm just roughly guessing
based on dates and not-conclusive google searches that 2.8 is
reasonable.

I'll try to clarify the wording here.

The code has been tested on CentOS 4.X.

Well, not exactly "introduced" by me, but I guess I can fix it in that
same patch. :)

Sounds good.
