What exactly doesn't work?  You don't get any password prompt for
either your ssh nor gpg keys?  Or you get the prompt for both now
instead of having your ssh key automatically added?  Or something else
entirely?

Is the new system running another agent, like the seahorse agent?  I
think that might be on by default now, and it provides similar
functionlity to gpg-agent and ssh-agent.  Maybe it's causing problems?

That's just my half-educated guess. ;)
