Hold on, I have just noticed that there's a small problem with Scute 
right now: It still relies on the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable to 
locate the socket of a running GnuPG Agent (even though this variable is 
obsolete since the beginning of the 2.1 branch), and when it cannot find 
this variable, it tries looking for the standard socket only under 
GnuPG's home directory and not under [/var]/run.

As a consequence, when used with GnuPG >= 2.1.13, Scute will never find 
the agent's socket and thus will never be able to connect to an already 
running agent. It will still work somehow because Scute will then launch 
an agent in "pipe server" mode (that's why I did not notice the problem 
before), but I think it would be better to update Scute so that it can 
properly locate the socket.

I am working on it, hopefully I will send a patch soon.
