            Bug ID: 12392
           Summary: Please make gpg-agent startup independent of GNOME
                    compat / gnome-keyring-daemon
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Xfce4-session
           Version: 4.12.0
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: mgorny at gentoo.org

xfsm_startup_init() in xfsm-startup.c states the following;

      /* if GNOME compatibility is enabled and gnome-keyring-daemon
       * is found, skip the gpg/ssh agent startup and wait for
       * gnome-keyring, which is probably what the user wants */

But in fact, this is often *not* what the user wanted. Especially with gpg 2.1
where GPG upstream is strongly opposed to gnome-keyring-daemon replacing the
agent.

Please make it possible to start gpg-agent/ssh-agent if GPG/SSH support in
gnome-keyring-daemon is disabled.
