I start gpg-agent this way via ~/.xsession


if test -e ~/.gpg_agent_info; then
        . ~/.gpg_agent_info
        else
gpg-agent --daemon --sh >> ~/.gpg_agent_info

=2E ~/.gpg_agent_info

fi

So, every time I log in, ~/.xsession will check, whether gpg-agent is up=20
and running and if not, it will be started.

I have the right options for gpg-agent in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf which=20
looks like this:

[malte_gell@eingang]~/.gnupg=B7 cat gpg-agent.conf
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 3600

This works fine for me. If I exit from KDE and log in later, ~/.xsession=20
sees that gpg-agent is already up and running.
