The gpg-agent for a user session is started by the script
/etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession. 
An openSUSE user pointed out to me that the socket handling of the gpg-agent
has changed with gpg 2.1 - now neither a env file is written (the option
--write-env-file is ignored) nor nor does anything use the env variable
GPG_AGENT_INFO.
Instead today a standard socket is used in $HOME/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.
Also check:
    https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html
If NFS mounted homes are desired, it can be handled as described in:
    https://wiki.gnupg.org/NFS
This requires reworking of the gpg-agent startup (and possibly also of the
ssh-agent) in sys.xsession.

Any takers?
