There seem currently to be at least three agents which can act as a gpg and/or 
ssh agent:
- gpg-agent
- seahorse-agent
- gnome-keyring-daemon

Depending on the order in which they are started the last setting the specific 
environment variables seems to win.
There should exist an easy way to select which agent ones want to use.

As I have an OpenPGP card, I need gpg-agent and can also use it as a ssh
agent. But unfortunately gnome-keyring-daemon overwrites the ssh agent
settings, so I need to change them manually back when I want to use my
OpenPGP card for ssh authentication.

As I don't have seahorse installed, I don't know how much more an
additional agent would disturb it.

seahorse does not recognize seahorse-agent/ssh-agent as a caching agent
