I don't think so. I'm using gpg-agent from gnupg-2.0.26.

I'm aware of this, but in this case, I don't understand your comment #3.
In my case, setting enable-ssh-support into .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf has no
effect.
Note that in the manual page of gpg-agent, it's not written that gpg-agent
recognizes this option from the config file. As far I  can see, it only
recognizes the --enable-ssh-support command line option.

Many questions : how do you start gpg-agent ? Is this xfce4-session who started
it ? If yes, how do you set theses CLI options ? Why do you set « --homedir
/home/corsac/.gnupg » since AFAIK it is the default ?


On my system, the only way I found to enable gpg-agent ssh support since xfce
4.12 is to run the xfconf-query command provided by the OP.
