FWIW, It is also possible to only enable PKCS#11 in certain applications
via the p11-kit configuration:

http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/doc/p11-kit/config-module.html

This can be done either globally by the admin of a system or for a
specific user.

Yes, that's what this committed fix accomplishes:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665961

No messages are printed if the daemon cannot be connected to. If a debug
environment variable is set, then the messages are printed.

If the (begnign, but misleading) warnings are too bothersome, you could
try out the patch and comment on the bug? That would help distros know
how tested the patch is, and whether to backport it.

Cheers,
