* Rename gpghome to homedir.
* Rename gpgbinary to binary.
* Add setting to append '--no-use-agent' to the command string in an attempt
to overcome bugs resulting on systems where the user has gpg-agent running
in the background (with some configurations, this is run before X is
started, and killing the agent can result in X dying) and GnuPG tries to
call the program specified by the symlink at /usr/bin/pinentry, result in
encryption and decryption failing due to the '--batch' option blasting
through pinentry without input. This results in a complaint from GnuPG:
gpg: Sorry, no terminal at all requested - can't get input
This bug also prevents symmetric encryption/decryption from working in a
similar manner.
Daniel Kahn Gilmor's monkeysphere, if I am recalling correctly, has a
hack to remove the $DISPLAY variable from the users environment, and then
add it back in, but frankly this option frightens me, as unsetting the
display could result in all X applications failing.
Werner Koch's suggestions, from the gnupg-devel mailing list are:
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-April/030927.html
And, for the record, '--no-use-agent' doesn't disable pinentry.
* This should only be used in the unittests, as the PRNG it uses in GnuPG does
not create strong keypairs (though it's faster, thus why we're using it for
testing).
