I see. I didn't think about the GNOME example. While I knew that the configuration file couldn't tell you everything about a running instance, it was the only thing I could think of. As I said earlier, the man page doesn't seem to say anything about this. Hopefully, someone else with more knowledge can give you a better answer. -Paul _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
