Hi, I also stumbled over this problem today. I am running Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 (LMDE 2) with Cinnamon Desktop Environment, Thunderbird and the GnuPG v2.0.26.
I solved this problem by disabling the gpg-agent-part of the Gnome keyring. It was not as trivial as I though to do so, so here are some possible solutions I want to share with you: Disable per user: % mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart % cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop ~/.config/autostart/. Solution I: % echo "Hidden=true" >> ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop This seems to be the most generic way and should work on all desktops supporting the Desktop Entry Specification: [1] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html Solution II: Add "NoDisplay=false" (if it does not exists) or change NoDisplay=true to false (if it does) in '~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop'. As I am running Cinnamon I also had to comment out the "OnlyShowIn=" line. After that the application was listed in the "Startup Applications" where I was able to disable the GPG Password Agent. [2] http://askubuntu.com/a/278309/501985 Disable system wide: Yes, you could edit the file in '/etc/xdg/autostart' and make the same changes I stated above but I find this solution much more appealing: % sudo dpkg-divert --local --rename --divert /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop-disable --add /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop To revert that change, you can run: % sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop [3] https://wiki.gnupg.org/GnomeKeyring Please be aware that you have to logout and login before the changes take effect. But: after disabling the GPG-agent-part of the Gnome keyring I have to enter the password twice before the mail is signed/encrypted. I still have no idea how to fix that.
