Description:

seahorse 2.22.0-1 (and 2.22.1 compiled with PKGBUILD from 2.22.0-1)

seahorse it is working .... but not with gpg ... i mean it not adding gpg-agent-info into ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file
if I delete ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and restart seahorse-agent the an empty ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file it is created
if I add manualy gpg-agent-info into ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file then all it is working

seahorse-agent is started from System->Preferences->Sessions

ps axf| grep seahorse

As of seahorse-2.22.0, seahorse no longer modifies ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf so it is mandatory to start seahorse-agent at X session start.

I have created the attached patch for /etc/gdm/Xsession to start seahorse-agent (once only) if its presence is detected. Please remove any reference to seahorse-agent in your GNOME session properties.

Note to Developer: seahorse-agent is started with the -A option which permits operation with all X displays. This is convenient but may pose a potential security risk which will obviously require assessment.

While we are examining /etc/gdm/Xsession, with gnome-2.22.x it is no longer necessary to start ssh-agent. gnome-keyring provides ssh-agent functionality itself.

thank you for your comments

- i know that with gnome 2.22 gnome-keyring has taken ssh-agent functions ... but seahorse is not yet and gpg2-agent replacement
- i will try your patch and see if i can use gpg/gpg2 without modify gpg.conf

GNOME Keyring may provide ssh-agent functionality, but Seahorse Agent provides gpg-agent functionality which GNOME Keyring doesn't.

@Hyperair: I don't dispute that.

@tep2esu: If you must use gpg-agent then you might be able to start it in a similar manner to my patch for seahorse-agent.

@Neil Darlow: I'm sorry, I misunderstood that post. Either way, the ssh-agent being in Xsession should be reported as a separate bug IMO.

@Hyperair: #10400 opened to address removal of ssh-agent.

Has anyone reported this upstream?

What's the status with 2.24.1?
