Sorry, I don't understand that argument.  I can't see why

  gpg --gpg-agent-info $FOO

is more complicated than

  GPG_AGENT_INFO=$FOO gpg 

Well, for fork/exec you need to use an extra putenv() but that is not
a real issue.  Dropping this options makes it even easier for seahorse
as it goes into great lengths to detect such an option and remove it.

BTW, soemone should file a bug with seahorse: instead of using its
own conf file parser, it should make use of gpgconf which provides a
standard interface to change options.

Well, I was a bit ahead of time.  It will be in 2.0.2 :-)
