Just some ideas:
- Keep passphrase in ram forever, put these lines in
  ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
    default-cache-ttl 99999999
    max-cache-ttl 99999999
- Allow preset passphrase for secret keys, put this in
  ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
    allow-preset-passphrase
- Apply passphrase to all secret keys at start of session, put this in
  ~/.xinitrc:
    SSH_ASKPASS=~/bin/askpass.lisp ssh-add
  (file ~/bin/askpass.lisp is attached)
