How to disable GnuPG agent?

When I log in gpg-agent is running. I have no idea what starts it. I use XFCE. I start OpenSSH's ssh-agent by having "eval $(ssh-agent)" in my ~/.bash_profile. I don't want to use gpg-agent. How can I disable it from starting automatically?

Re: How to disable GnuPG agent?

I have it too. Some Googling took me here and here.

This command did the trick for me:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /startup/ssh-agent/enabled -n -t bool -s false

GPG agent is a key manager used for signing/verifying entities like mail and packages (pacman!). But for pacman, you don't need the user session.
