I installed GnuPG 1.9.5 but I have found that Licq decrypts encrypted messages
even after a reboot, when the gpg-agent daemon is not running.  Is it really
needed?  I have 'use-agent' in my gpg.conf so perhaps the agent is being used,
I'm not sure.

Since I did not want to depend on the "experimental" version of GnuPG for
non-Licq stuff, I kept the stable GnuPG package installed and I installed the
experimental version in /usr/local/bin  Unless I specify the
/usr/local/bin/gpg version, the version that is used is the stable version and
I don't seem to have any problems doing it that way.

I am just wondering if gpg-agent is really needed.  I don't even need to enter
my passphrase after a reboot.  Perhaps the agent is only needed if one does
not wish to put their passphrase in ~/licq/licq_qt-gui.conf  Is that the case?
I use a different passphrase and key for email than what I use for Licq so
putting my passphrase in there is not a cause for concern for me.

When I installed the experimental GnuPG version, I broke Samba and also CUPS
but I fixed both later.
