I'm getting very close to a final solution :)

So now the only thing left to do is to make sure that these are executed
(this is my .xprofile):

if [ -x "$(which gpg-agent)" ]; then
    if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info&&  \
        kill -0 $(cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info) 2>/dev/null
    then
        GPG_AGENT_INFO=$(cat $HOME/.gpg-agent-info)
        export GPG_AGENT_INFO
    else
        eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)
        echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO>$HOME/.gpg-agent-info
    fi
fi

source $HOME/.bash_profile
xbindkeys -f $HOME/.xbindkeysrc&
bitlbee -F -c $HOME/.bitlbee.conf


Very strangely now even if the gpg-agent is not appearing to be on, the gpg
key looks cached anyway.
Is it the consolekit doing something maybe?

So I'm not sure if I should move them to .xinitrc or to use GDM..
Probably GDM would be easier and I can configure also the auto-login, but
does it starts many other things that I don't need?
Would it not be easier to switch to KDM or one of the other login
managers rather than use GDM if you have moved away from Gnome?


Is kdm in kde-workspace-base?
If yes it also has quite a lot of dependencies which I don't really need.
And actually I think I can survive very well without any login manager.
I just need to set up correctly my .xinitrc, and then give on e startx every time I reboot
my machine (so every 3-4 weeks).

With ck-lauch-session I solved the policykit issues so I don't see what else I'm missing not
using a login manager..
