Bug#701179: gnome-keyring: No configuration for GPG key passphrase caching

[Andy Ruddock]

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.4.1-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The gnome-keyring-daemon caches gpg keys, the first time one is asked to enter a passphrase a dialog is shown.
Even if the checkbox to cache the passphrase for the duration of the session is left unchecked that's precisely what the daemon does.
There is no configuration within the gnome settings to set a timeout value after which the passphrase is removed from the cache.
(Admittedly this can be achieved through dconf-editor).
