"apt-cache rdepends gnome-keyring" will tell you the reverse dependencies 
for the package.

If it is installed because of a "required" dependency coming from another 
package you can't remove it without pain :-)

If the package came through a "recommended" dependency and you nor other 
program or libray are making use of it, there should be no problems to 
remove it.
