I guess that's because the gnome-keyring agent doesn't (yet) support
gnupg smart card operations.

To disable the gnome-keyring agent you can run:

$ gnome-session-properties

And then uncheck 'GPG Password Agent', log out and log back in.

Does anyone want to help complete this work? Anyone want to research if
there's a way if we can integrate better with the gpg2 smart card agent?
Is it available as a library that we could load, or perhaps some other
form of integration?

I have my hands pretty full right now, but I'd certainly help coordinate
with someone who got into this.

Cheers,

Stef
