Just wanted to let everyone know that it works now. First I had to read
the manual (which gentoo doesn't seem to install in a usable form, and
which FireFox wouldn't display directly from the quintuple-agent web
site). That explained that you have to run the q-agent daemon first, but
you have to do so in a funky way that executes its output as a bash
script.

After I did all that, I tried some tests with raw gpg and agpg, and it
kept saying it wasn't getting the right password back. Finally I noticed
in the quintuple-agent changelog that 1.0.3 (which gentoo installed) has
this bug (fixed in 1.0.4): It may say it couldn't get the password even
though it actually did (!)

So I was able to sign the rest of my branch using agpg, and only having
to enter my password once. 

Since ArX signing pretty much demands the use of an agent like
quintuple-agent, I thought this would be valuable information for other
ArX users.

Cheers,

Kevin
