I have chosen to unlock my GPG key at login time. In processes launched by Unity, I sometimes get the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable set, but other times (in other login sessions) not. So likely some kind of race. From terminal launched with Ctrl+Alt+T, the variable always seems to be available. (Emacs, which I usually launch from Unity, needs this variable to connect to gpg agent.)
