Thanks Mike, I'll try it when I get home.  However, I would still like
to find out why the ~/.xsession solution does not work . . .
especially as I am not using KDM.

Another Q:  I have more than one boxen and would like to use the same
gpg key.  Should I just copy over the ~/.gpg directory, or is it more
involved than that?  For the same purpose would it also be feasible to
save .gpg on a USB key and use it on other machines or is there a
security risk in doing this?
