Bug Description

reported on #kubuntu, verified on fresh kubuntu by me.

Problem:
After setting tcsh as login shell login, login in via kdm one gets immediately
logout and kdm present again a login screen.

in ~/.xsession: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/61pgp-agent complain about that setenv is unknown.

Fix: add --sh to force bource shell syntax output

$ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/61pgp-agent
# $Id:$
# In order to activate the session bus at X session launch
# simply place use-session-pgp-agent into your /etc/X11/Xsession.options file
#
eval $(gpg-agent --sh --daemon)

With this login works with tcsh (and with bash still too ;)

I confirm the problem and the diagnostic of the original submitter.
Debian does not have this problem, since it does use --sh. Debian also has a much more sophisticated session script for gnupg-agent. Is there any
particular reason to fork it ?

Debian:

gnupg2 (1.9.15-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent script. Closes: #300128.
  * Emphasize that gnupg2 is NOT useful at the moment.
  * Conflict+replace gpg-agent with newpg.

gnupg2 (1.9.15-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Incorporated Ubuntu changes from Andreas Mueller.

Hm, sorry, I should have checked. Since it looks like there was an urgency:high version upload since then, I suppose there are chances for the package to
get sync'd through hoary-updates ?

It's possible, given a simple, tested patch

We've synced the Debian version now, so this should be fixed.
