This also breaks GPA ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpa/+bug/1381926 ) and S/MIME support in Kontact.

It has required that there is a section about this in the GnuPG Wiki ( http://wiki.gnupg.org/PlatformNotes ). And related problems are regularly raised on the gnupg-users mailing list.

There was a thread on the gnupg-devel mailing list involving the gnome-keyring maintainer that shows some standpoints of this problem:

http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2014-August/028690.html

Imho it is an Ubuntu problem and not an Upstream problem. Ubuntu decides to create: /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop

And thus deliberately breaks gnupg2 by default.
