Bug ID: 972787
           Summary: [gpg-agent] Rework agent startup for DM sessions.
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed
           Version: Current
          Hardware: All
                OS: openSUSE 42.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Security
          Assignee: security-team@suse.de

          Found By: Development
           Blocker: ---
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?
