Description:
As reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769393

Storing passwords in keychain does not work if $GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL env variable is not present.
mysql-workbench reports the following on startup:

~~~~
** Message: Gnome keyring daemon seems to not be available. Stored passwords will be lost once quit
~~~~

It seems, that mysql-workbench still relies on the $GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL env variable. However, this variable is no longer exported, since gnome-keyring version 3.11.92:

    http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-keyring/3.11/gnome-keyring-3.11.92.changes

How to repeat:
Start mysql-workbench on system with gnome-keyring (>= 3.12)

Suggested fix:
mysql-workbench should make use of the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR env variable instead.
