This is what I have in my .xinitrc:
###### begin #######
#!/bin/sh
PG_TTY=`tty`
export GPG_TTY
if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info && \
kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/nu
ll; then
GPG_AGENT_INFO=`cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info`
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
else
eval `gpg-agent --daemon`
echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >$HOME/.gpg-agent-info
fi
exec startkde
##### end #####
That works, but I thought .xsession was only used by xdm, not kdm or gdm.
If I am wrong about that, putting the script in .xsession might be the ticket.
