Does the gpg-agent keeps the keys unlocked for the session?

Hello,

I was wondering if gpg-agent on your system keeps the keys unlocked
for the session.

My experience is that it doesn't. According to the documentation, the
passphrase cache would be removed in 2 hours [1].

I am using gpg encrypted KWallet and according to KWallet's upstream
developer the passphrase remains cached on his system for the session.
Please see the bug report for more information [2].

My only guess is that his distribution might be making choice on his behalf.

How does your Fedora box behave? Are you asked to re-enter gpg
passphrase after sometime? Or does it tend to keep cache for the
session?
