Ahhh! I see ...

Hmmm, you lost me there Alan. I have noticed that launching KDE with kdm
reads the /etc/kde/startup/agent-startup.sh file, but that is not the case
when I use kdm to launch other WMs, like fluxbox or enlightenment.
Enlightenment has its own startup directory for launching applications at
start up (.e/e/applications/startup/), but placing in there the agent-
startup.sh file does not launch gpg-agent. :-(
