We really need to rather solve the issue of using the real gpg-agent
instead of gnome-keyring's agent. gnome-keyring's agent doesn't
implement various features that gnupg's 2.x has grown to require.

Unfortunately gnupg's agent doesn't implement the features that GNOME
needs (yet?) such as shell based logins, and the optional ability to
save a password for automatic unlocking.

I haven't had time to work on this. But when either I or someone else
does, we should put our work in this direction instead.
