Public bug reported:

Running gnupg will generate the error message:

gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work properly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system!

Cause:

The gnupg maintainer doesn't like GNOME keyring

http://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1656

fix:

Editing or deleting /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop  will
probably fix the problem according to advice, but this is a little hard
for an end user.

Needed: Simple solution for end user

Really Needed: GNOME keyring and Gnupg maintainers need to sort out
their differences in a way that doesn't screw users.
