That might be the case; I can't tell for sure because I am not not
running systemd.  However

  gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye

will set the DISPLAY to the current value.  I use that command after
switching to a different xserver (e.g. from laptop to desktop).

With gpg there is no need for this as gpg tells gpg-agent about the
DISPLAY and some other vars.  the ssh-agent protocols has no such
feature (volunteers to work on this welcome).


Shalom-Salam,
