Gnome keyring or gpg-agent



Ever since I installed Fedora 13 I have been having a few issues with my
GPG signature. With the gnome keyring I tend to have to enter my pass
phrase every time I send a signed message when executing thunderbird
through an X tunnel. If I start a gpg-agent when X starts up and set up
the GPG_AGENT_INFO my key seems to be remembered but I get a double
prompt, probably because I am also running the gnome keyring. I've got
to run some experiments when running thunderbird locally.

Thunderbird is set to open pinentry.gtk
The default and max cache entries in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf is set to
86400 which should be sufficient. I don't mind entering a pass phrase
daily.
