Description

Perhaps this is connected to #12.

The problem is, that I do not get a password prompt when trying to PGP sign or encrypt with a passphrase protected key. In the GUI it says: "Secret key not found".

My observation is, that if there is a gpg-agent running, it never works and if not it is kind of random, it worked once in ten tries. Didn't manage to detect a course.

[Here](https://github.com/flathub/io.github.shiftey.Desktop/issues/22#issuecomment-1586333404) I found a workaround by setting `socket=gpg-agent` permission to `false`, but I think this not a real solution.

I tried to play around with
```
LANG=C CAMEL_DEBUG=gpg flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution
```
but cannot see anything enlightening in the output.

Any advice how to get closer to the problem here?

Version used for latest tests:
```sh
$> flatpak info org.gnome.Evolution
