Talking about ssh: Yes, you need to make sure that gpg-agent has been launched. But once that has been done ssh works nicely. The major problem with ssh is that ssh has no way to pass environment variables to gpg-agent via the ssh-agent protocol. gpg-agent needs the envvars to pop up pinentry on the right tty/display. I once posted patches to the ssh list to extend ssh in this way but the interest was not high and I had no time to starting convincing them to apply these patches. Actually it would also be possible to tell ssh to autostart gpg-agent, similar to what gpg does. This could be done as a generic pre-connect extension to ssh.
