Some things to also be aware of:

 - The certificate will often be hardware backed (smartcard or usb dongle), so
can't really be copied around
 - If it is not hardware based, do *not* copy it around. People using it for
real purposes wants to know where their keys are.

The need to restart okular when changing the nss location could probably be
fixed inside poppler, and a side effect of fixing that  will probably fix all
the crash-on-shutdown bugs related to nss.

I'm working on adding an alternative to using nss for digital signatures (using
gpg), and most of the setup bits will kind of be delegated to kleopatra, an app
kind of designed for this. 

Also when using gpg, my patches for okular will hide the path selection for nss
databases.
