So yeah about kleopatra flatpak, i see that after removing the socket services 
and killing all running gpg services by `gpgconf --kill all` i tried opening 
keloptra (flatpak) to see if it invokes the system gpg-agent and does all the 
functions but i noticed that it failed any signing , encryption or decryption 
functions. It could not even list the keys from keyboxd that were imported 
earlier. So it seems maybe the flatpak version doesn't have its own gpg-agent 
or maybe this is an actual bug or a limitation with flatpak that it couldn't 
invoke system gpg services or use its own. [...]

I will speculate that the flatpak sandbox allows access to the "system" keyboxd and gpg-agent sockets but *not* to the actual keyring files.

I am unsure how much of a security boundary that actually is:  is access to keyboxd equivalent to access to the underlying keyrings?
