Oh, I've spotted why it fails.

So : if I launch emacs (23) from bash running in gnome-terminal in my gnome
(fallback) session, decryption works.

If I use Alt+F2 to trigger gnome's launcher, and type emacs, then
decryption won't work :-/

Both emacses run in X, but they don't have same ancestry, which may
explain why agent connection runs or not ?

Bug, feature ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
