It should be obvious that for a different homedirectory GnuPG also
requires a different socket.  Thus we hash the name of the homedir and
append it to the standard directory for sockets.

The ~/.gnupg file name is pretty important and there is no way to chnage
this to something different without breaking a lot of stuff.  You can
simply use a symlink, though.  That is how I handle this with .gnupg
being stored on a g13 encrypted partition.


Salam-Shalom,
