Simon Josefsson posted this at gnupg-devel:

  mkdir ~/.config/autostart/
  cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
  echo 'Hidden=true' >> ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop
  
  As far as I know, there is no GUI to do this in modern GNOME.  It used
  to be possible through gnome-session-properties, but there is no way to
  do the same with gnome-tweak-tool.

Seems so.

The configure above was for gnome-keyring-daemon.  It disables the
so-called gpg support over there and makes gpg-agent work.  However, it is
easier to use Simon's way as shown above.
