I'm running Fedora 10 (if anyone cares) with gnupg2-2.0.10-1.fc10.i386.

I'm up and rolling, but I'd like to know more about configuring the agent. 
I started the agent via the recommended incantation:

eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

in my ~/.kde/AutoStart

and I set

use-agent

in my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

I'm not seeing a place that defines what the default values are for the 
gpg-agent. I wanted to change the default TTL for a passphrase so I said

default-cache-ttl 6000

in my .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

But I also have a gpa.conf and I don't know which is the right place to 
put the change or how to tell what the current settings are.

Also, in my gpg.conf file I have

default-key  5E2A01198E98730A87DF205C448572E1F0BE3724

but in the gpa.conf, I have the following.

*519 > cat .gnupg/gpa.conf
default-key ADA6F1B17880A139848FCE939FD2865783254088
keyserver hkp://random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de

So basically, I'm confused and I don't see any docs to help. Can someone 
help?

TIA
