I've been using the scd-event script found in the 'doc/examples'  
folders in the source distribution to activate & lock my screensaver  
when the card is pulled.  Logic exist in the script that would allow  
you to call 'gpgconf --reload scdaemon' or 'pkill -9 scdaemon' when  
the card is inserted.  You could play with this as a workaround.

This is only a workaround and not any official solution since the list  
message below confirms code as the real issue.
