IIRC those used to *have* to be set, and that was done via the loginmanager (e.g. gdm), but that doesn't seem to be necessary any longer, but I guess mutt depends on them being there in order to find out that gpg-agent is running. Is that correct? Anyway, making the changes you propose makes mutt behave the way I want.
