This is exactly why (half) solutions like this are really bad. A well designed service should be a back end that works everywhere - and allow front ends to be built (or shared) for different DE's. In this regard, the wallet managers are a failure. Network manager does it right - a daemon back end and a set of GUI's to partner with it. A decent key manager would be similar. There'd be a single API that apps can use - and the GUI's for user use the same API to communicate with it. The idea of having a tool for a common task is a good one - the design implementation is flawed and suffers from NIH.
