I am refocussing this report to wishlist.
Reasons:
- not much activity since almost a year.
- many subproblems have been discussed and resolved meanwhile
  + gnupg 2.0 has been released on November 2006,
    so gpg-agent is extra stable.
  + KMail can decrypt anything if gpg-agent is running.
  + Many distributions, like Debian are shipping gpg-agent
    and scripts that start it right away. So handling got a lot 
    better.

- gpg-agent is has more potential to be secure because it is less code
  that it runs. 


To me gpg-agent is the real solution so I suggest to close this report
because most of the votes will have been for some subproblem which is
long gone, also

- Another code path with non-gpg-agent situation will add unnecessarity 
  complexity, so I advise against.
