Apparently gpg-agent does clean up properly after it when it is killed. I have
just changed my gpg-agent.sh shutdown script as shown below. The rm and rmdir
lines should make it clean up nicely after it.
$ cat ~/.kde/shutdown/gpg-agent.sh
#!/bin/sh
# the second field of the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable is the
# process ID of the gpg-agent active in the current session
# so we'll just kill that, rather than all of them :)
if [[ -n ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} ]]; then
kill $(echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d ':' -f 2)
rm $(echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d ':' -f 1)
rmdir $(dirname `echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d ':' -f 1`)
unset GPG_AGENT_INFO
fi

First off, doesn't one of the boot scripts clean /tmp? Or is that just my
imagination?
Second, I have found that it is better to mount /tmp as a tmpfs. That way I get
a (slight) increase in performance when I'm ripping cd's and stuff, I don't
risk running out of space on / (not all that big of a problem, though),
whenever I turn the computer of /tmp get's cleared and, last but not least, I
tell myself that I get more battery-time on my laptop since it doesmn't have to
write to disk as much. Yay!
To do this, all you need is to put
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
in /etc/fstab. Add size=nbytes to select maximum size of the filesystem.
Defaults to half of ram.
