What is this solution? I am working around the bug in Jessie [1], but GKR's bug/design is a real pain if you want to convince others to start to use GnuPG with smartcards. I recently noticed that my fix doesn't even work on Ubuntu, so each OS need their own fix... :-( /Simon [1] http://blog.josefsson.org/2015/01/02/openpgp-smartcards-and-gnome/
