Have you guys looked at keychain at all? IMHO, keychain is a better solution
than ssh-agent:
1)It works in console and X
2)It keeps an ssh-agent running
3)All login shells use the same ssh-agent
4)It will automatically load up your keys for you (if you have ever run it).

Please take a look at the /etc/profile.d file supplied in the keychain package,
as it might show you how you can achieve the same functionality with gpg-agent
(although you will probably also need to fork keychain, or add support for
gpg-agent to it).

If you guys can sort out either:
-adding gpg support to keychain
-a similar package to keychain
I will put it in contrib, and maybe even consider using kmail (if I can't get
enigmail to make use of gpg-agent).

It would be great if gpg-agent could be automatically started at X start when people 
use kmail AEGYTEN crypto plugins. 
 
The attached patch and script I currently use could make it. 
 
The patch ensure that if the script is installed it is run in the current shell 
context 
(this is very important to get the GPG_AGENT_INFO env variable available on the 
desktop) 
 
The script kills all previous gpg-agent process for the user login in and starts a new 
one, exporting the correct env variable.
