The problem is not about seahorse. It is about processes spawned by the
keybindings. They can be evolution and epiphany, but also, depending on
the preferences, balsa, thunderbird, firefox, etc. Here the problem lies
in a variable that is passed blindly by all these programs to gpg. And
you can't "fix" all these applications, nor can you expect gnupg to
implement a D-Bus API just to recover the path to a socket.
