gnome-keyring-daemon and ssh-agent share a purpose
seahorse-agent (s-a) and gpg-agent (g-a) share a purpose

The first on each line to start "wins".

gnome-keyring-daemon means we have pretty passphrase boxes and the
password is remembered, unlike ssh-agent.

seahorse-agent...I don't see any advantages over gpg-agent, unless the
fact that Evolution + s-a lets you choose whether to save the passphrase
counts. Evolution + g-a, when used inside KDE, uses a KDE passphrase
box and always stores the passphrase (I wish it didn't). I haven't
tried Evolution + s-a in GNOME.
