OK. So I have some conclusion:
- A minimal install should not install any Suggests, if it does,
please report a bug (bug #5209). -> The Suggests don't need to be
moved.
- Instead, Requires will affect minimal install. -> Change Requires:
gnome-keyring in libgnome-keyring to Suggests.
- remove totem-mozilla (and other gnome stuff, if neecessary) from CAT_KDE.

Olav, I've committed the change of libgnome-keyring to svn. Please
review and submit it if it's acceptable to you. (You are still the
maintainer of libgnome-keyring.)

I don't know how to change CAT_KDE in rpmstrate, so that should be
done by someone else.

Thanks.
