Hi David,

I had a similar problem with my GPG passphrase not being cached in Ubuntu 11.04,
running Gnome Dekstop 2.32.1.

The problem was solved by launching System | Preferences | Passwords and
Encryption Keys. On the Passwords tab I expanded the Passwords:login list and
found several entries for "PGP Key: [Your Name] <[your@email_address.com]>".

Once I deleted all these entries, caching starting working again as it should.

hth,
