Here's what I did:
1) install gnupgp2 if you have'nt
yum install gnupgp2
2) In ~/.gnugpg/create a file gpg-agent.cong with this
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 18000
2b) append to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
cat >> ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
use-agent
3) if using kde then drop this in ~/.kde/env
cat > ~/.kde/env/gpg-agent-start.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "${GPG_AGENT_INFO}" -a -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent -a -f
${HOME}/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf ]; then
## If you're paranoid about stale agents running (possible kde crash)
uncomment killall line:
## NOTE: a root login will kill *all* users' gpg-agents
killall gpg-agent
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
If using gnome there must be something similar to have things
start - i gave up on gnome several years ago but I'm sure there is.
Logout and back in to get the agent started and you should be in business.
