Looks like something that is supposed to start gpg-agent does not start it at gnome login. Am I correct in reading that this bug does not occur when gpg-agent is started manually?
I've forgot to state, that my ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf contains pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt pinentry-gtk-2 doesn't change anything. I get aseked for the passphrase by this pinentry-qt. Sourcing ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info and exporting GPG_AGENT_INFO into the thunderbird start environment (gnome-terminal with bash) doesn't change anything. One of my questions is: Should there be a gpg-agent started by the gnome startup? Thanks a lot.

That's the point I've just added. > Am I correct in reading that this bug does not occur when > gpg-agent is started manually? Yes, manually out of the X11 enabled console (gnome-terminal) works. The gpg-agent startup out of the console started thunderbird results in the failure.
Ok, thanks for the quick response, I'm going to assign this bug to the gnome herd who should be able to help you better then I can :).
this is clearly not a gnome problem but I'll try to see if I can help anyway. How does gpg-agent gets started on login ? Do you use keychain ? If you want to start any agent, it is better to throw a script for them in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d, see how dbus does it or how gdm installs a keychain and ssh-agent file there.
Created attachment 199613 [details] possible xinitrc.d start script for gpg-agent I think this should be included in the app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.11 package, maybe depending on the X use flag.
Oops, there is a certain similarity to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258944; *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 258944 ***
