=> ("/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/session" "/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login")

dbus-monitor says that for seahorse, the paths are like 
"path=/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login/5"

For secrets.el, (secrets-get-collections) produces:

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.196 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
   string ":1.196"
method call sender=:1.196 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=3 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
   string "type='method_call'"
method call sender=:1.196 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=4 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
   string "type='method_return'"
method call sender=:1.196 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=5 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
   string "type='error'"

but then (secrets-list-collections) produces:

method call sender=:1.191 -> dest=org.freedesktop.secrets serial=17 path=/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=Get
   string "org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection"
   string "Label"
method return sender=:1.5 -> dest=:1.191 reply_serial=17
   variant       string "Login"

so the label for that collection is "Login"?  I guess seahorse doesn't
show the collection label, only the basename.
