15 Thanks Mike, I'll try it when I get home. However, I would still like
16 to find out why the ~/.xsession solution does not work . . .
17 especially as I am not using KDM.

19 Another Q: I have more than one boxen and would like to use the same
20 gpg key. Should I just copy over the ~/.gpg directory, or is it more
21 involved than that? For the same purpose would it also be feasible to
22 save .gpg on a USB key and use it on other machines or is there a
23 security risk in doing this?
