modern versions of gpg-agent have ssh support enabled by default.
If you're getting a refusal from the agent to sign the key, please let
me know:
* what version of the gnupg-agent package?
* what version of pinentry are you using by default? (e.g. the output
of "readlink -f $(which pinentry)")
* how are you launching your graphical environment? (e.g. "no graphical
environment at all", or "startx", or "gdm" or some other display manager)
* do you have dbus-user-session installed?
As a diagnostic workaround, can you try running the following and then
tell me whether gpg-agent starts working for you?
