Yes.  Years ago, though...

Don't get me wrong here: Seahorse is nice for dealing with GPG keys and 
passwords stored by Gnome.  It doesn't show you any S/MIME certs, though.  
Likewise, the agent doesn't handle the tasks for certs properly.  Thus, you 
should disable the agent (seahorse-preferences will then nag that an "Invalid 
or no GPG agent is running") and use gpg-agent instead.

If you want to see the S/MIME certs, use gpa from the GnuPG project.  This 
application can deal with GnuPG keys and with s/mime certificates, but *not* 
with the Gnome passwords.  I.e. in the end, you need both apps, if you want to 
see your stored passwords...

BTW, gpg-agent also supports ssh-agent, i.e. it calls pinentry to unlock ssh 
keys which is a *very* nice feature.  See the man pages of ssh-agent and 
gpg-agent for details.

Best,
Albrecht.
