Not really. It is not _a_ desktop environment. It is one of the main
desktop environments of debian (if not the mostly used).

As I said feel free to reassign the issue to gnome-keyring, but it
_is_ an issue.

If it is not recommended in general, then a bug should have been filed
to gnome-keyring, to not duplicate gpg-agent. I don't see any such
bug.

I just don't find acceptable that scute not working by _default_ when
gnome is in use. There is no warning being print, nor the README files
mention anything about it.
