Clear gpg-agent passphrase cache on logout
Reported by Luke Le | April 24th, 2012 @ 04:41 PM
As per a user request:
"Would also be nice to have an option to remember passphrase until logout/shutdown, but yes I could just set a very large number of seconds"
A logout hook/launch agent should be added which clears the gpg-agent from all passphrases at logout (shutdown of gpg-agent?)
The GPG Preferences should show a checkbox to enable this
feature.
If it's enabled, the input field for cache time entry is to be
disabled or even hidden
and the cache time interval set to a week or longer.

This happens automatically now, since the gpg-agent has to be killed on logout,
other pinentry might fail to launch.
