gpg-agent is not stopped on logout

Hello Hunger, thanks for the bug. Is this still happening for you with latest dapper?

Yes. Now gconf is left hanging around in addition to gpg-agent.

hunger, thanks for your answer! can you please open a separate bug against gconf? there are different people for dealing with each bug. Thanks a lot!

The bug is still there in feisty:

Oh my god!

Still there in feisty, even after the release...

I see this also with Kubuntu Feisty.

It looks like the fundamental problem is that gpg-agent is started with X from Xsessions.d, but doesn't get registered (presumably RegisterClient()), so when X exists it doesn't know to stop gpg-agent.

Bryce Harrington,

I saw from your MOTU application your interest in X, so Ithought this bug might be up your alley. If not please accept my apologies for the bug mail spam and unsubscribe yourself.

This sounds like Debian bug #401843 which got fixed in gnupg2 2.0.6-1 in Debian unstable.

I'm working on testing this.

I've built a test package, but cannot seem to replicate the problem with
the current Gutsy gnupg2 (I haven't installed the test package yet).

Would someone else running Gutsy please see if you can still replicate the
issue?

I no longer see this bug in Hardy. Can we close this bug?

I'm asking since so many other people reported similar problems, so I do not want to close the bug without at least a little feedback.

Um, but the bug is still in the version I reported it AND hardy isn't
even released.

Yes, but the Ubuntu policy (like it or not) is to only fix critical and
security bugs in releases. The criteria is here:

Seems to be fixed now in intrepid. Hussa.
