gnome-keyring Default configuration of pinentry in gnome3

[Watson Sato <yuuma sato gmail com>]

Hi, I'm Yuuma and I'm working on GNOME side of pinentry-gnome3 as a GSoC project.

With pinentry-gnome3 implemented we are looking to set this pinentry program as default in gnome3.

I know it' possible to configure the default pinentry through configuration in gpg-agent.conf file and it also can be passed as a parameter on execution.

But what would be the way for GNOME to change default pinentry to pinentry-gnome3 when starting a session?

Neal has mentioned that Debian uses update-alternatives to configure the default pinentry, would this approach be enough?

Maybe reading a secondary config file where session managers can change stuff.

Is there a better approach?
