If I use the options --keyring and --secret-keyring to point gpg to the ring files, How does it affect the usage of random_seed and trustdb.gpg files ?
Would it still work OK if there is no access to ~/.gnupg directory ?

This is all controlled by the option: --homedir @var{dir} Set the name of the home directory to @var{dir}. If his option is not used, the home directory defaults to @file{~/.gnupg}. It is only recognized when given on the command line. It also overrides any home directory stated through the environment variable @env{GNUPGHOME} or (on W32 systems) by means on the Registry entry HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir. ~/.gnupg translates to something like "USER/Application Data/gnupg" - but it depends on the Windows version and the localization. Down inside gpg the Windows constant CSIDL_APPDATA is used to locate that directory. The default location for keyrings as well as for the configuration file is then in the homedir. You may use the options --keyring, --secret-keyring and --no-default-keyring to change the location of these files. Almost everyone is fine with the defaults.
