I use this for more than a decade.  You have to use

  gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye

if you switch your xserver; that is if you login from another machine or
account int the xserver where gpg-agent has been started.  With gpg or
gpgsm this is not required because they can tell gpg-agent about their
own environment.  ssh is not able to do this.  I have posted patch to
the openssh portable list to enhance ssh-agent but they have not yet
been merged.


Salam-Shalom,
