If you don't want gpg-agent to start with your session, it is easier to
run it this way:

  gpg-agent --daemon --default-cache-ttl 3600 /bin/sh

This invokes a new shell with everything setup for using gpg-agent.
After you are finished you can simply give an "exit".  The cache TTL is
measured in seconds; without the option you get 10 minutes.
