I fixed my problem by looking at the default setup of another system and noting that it did not have:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent I renamed that file, restarted X, and all is well. Seahorse is running by itself rather than under gpg-agent: /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute x-session-manager I'm not sure where the file came from or why it was there. If someone knows, please leave a message. -- [hardy] seahorse agent no longer asks for the passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
