>Upstream resolution: Closed, Wontfix
I'll repeat my suggestion from c#2 -- don't start gpg-agent in X11 startup
scripts. Okay, that won't work for Leap 42.3, but that's near EOL. For 15.0,
15.1 and Tumbleweed, there is no need to start gpg-agent. It will be started
by the first user command that needs it. And the X11 session will no longer be
a descendant process of ssh-agent, so the ulimit problem won't arise.
