hi
just a question...
maybe i'm overlooking something
what is the point of having 2 keyrings if both are readable by the same
user?
and if you have different users running the two processes, then just
edit the corresponging ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf files to point to the
corresponding keyrings

(of course i could be overlooking somethin...)
