I have a feeling this ought to be solvable using systemd but I can't really see how. Writing a service for gpg-agent is not that difficult, and it creates the required environment file without problems. But, how do I hook it in to the user login in the right way? Who should be wanting my gpg-agent.service, and then load the generated file using EnvironmentFile=?

Rather than starting it purely with systemd, have you looked into using Envoy [1] and using its PAM module to ensure it gets propagated to the entire login session? Regards, ~Celti [1]: https://github.com/vodik/envoy
