This isn't the keychain solution Buchan mentioned, but if we add the script 
gpg-agent-exec to the newpg package (see the attachment on 
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5259), this would allow the 
Xsession to be really simple: just add "gpg-agent-exec" to $AGENT (like 
ssh-agent is). 
 
This is a less-than perfect solution, since it does add an extra shell process 
that hangs around... but if bug 5259 gets fixed in gpg-agent itself, that would 
go away. 
 
I'm not familiar with keychain, so I'll have to look at that more before I can 
comment much about that.

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.
