I'm not sure i understand what you mean by this. In this case, folks
are talking about a *local* machine that has multiple channels that
*might* give feedback to the user (whether it's a dbus session or X11
display or whatever. It's not a remote machine.

So maybe --keep-display is the option that jay and Sam need to add to
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, then? Should those options also cover
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS? or should we add a third option
--keep-dbus-session? or should there really just be one option,
something like --keep-user-channel, which resists the temptation to
adjust any of these settings?
