Description

I'm using the release of docker-credential-secretservice v0.6.3. I get the following error when running docker-credential-secretservice list:
Error from list function in secretservice_linux.c likely due to error in secretservice library

This error is the same whether I build v0.6.3 from source, master from source, or use the .tar.gz provided on the Releases section.

This error appears to be session-dependant - opening a new terminal window no longer causes the error. Some basic shell information (given randomly): https://gist.github.com/freeone3000/655e1e33c863a7a3f7a09fc4f9eda1dd

Research direction

Start by reproducing docker-credential-secretservice list with release v0.6.3 and compare the session-dependent behavior described in the issue and linked shell information. Then inspect secretservice_linux.c and the surrounding secretservice-library interaction; done means the command no longer reports this error in the reported session conditions.
