Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

I have used seahorse for a while and it always worked reasonably well. A
few days ago I set up Xgl (on Feisty), following the instructions here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl

Since then, seahorse agent gets confused by the login scripts, and I
cannot use it anymore. It probably has something to do with dbus-launch.
I am not sure who the culprit is, could be dbus-launch too, sorry if the
report should have gone there.

I use method A in the mentioned Xgl instructions, that is, I use a Xgl
session that I choose from the gdm screen. From there I call the Xgl
start script:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Xgl
Comment=Start an Xgl Session
Exec=/usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh
Icon=
Type=Application

/usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh contains:

#!/bin/sh
Xgl :1 -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer &
DISPLAY=:1
dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

seahorse-agent is launched with the session, just with the command
"seahorse-agent".


The process list contains the following weird processes. Note that the 
ssh-agent command line and the seahorse-agent line contain the startxgl.sh 
script:

/usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session 
/usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute /usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute 
/usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh
/usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute /usr/local/bin/startxgl.sh


When I try to sign in Evolution, it pops up this message:
------
Could not create message.
Because "gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
gpg: writing to `-'
gpg: DSA/SHA1 signature from: "2AEFE3A8 Mario Vukelic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
", you may need to select different mail options.
------

After killing the session-controlled ssh-agent and seahorse-agent
processes and restarting them from the Seahorse preference dialog (which
starts them cleanly without the --execute startxgl.sh stuff), Seahorse
works again.
