What might be a better "fix", IMHO, would be to have GPA also warn about this, so people know what to do. Perhaps with another environment variable GPG_NO_WARN_AGENT_HIJACK because GUI's usually warn through modal dialogs, which gets tiresome quickly when you actually want GNOME Keyring. That is, if GPA works *at all* with GNOME Keyring; I don't know. However, looking at the age and number of bugs reported against Debian's gpa related to this mess, I think the package maintainers don't have a lot of time to spend on this. So someone would need to champion it all. Write a complete patch, and campaign for its inclusion in the next Jessie point release. I don't know if it would work, though. If the GPA maintainers campaign for its inclusion in a point release, it might work, but I doubt an outsider could get it done. Note: I'm not a Debian Developer. I'm just making observations from the outside. I might be babbling complete gobbledygook (is that how you spell it? :).
