And, after restarting gnome-keyring-daemon:


[rjh at isaiah Downloads]$ gpg2 --card-status
gpg: selecting openpgp failed: Unsupported certificate
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Unsupported certificate

[rjh at isaiah Downloads]$ sudo gpg2 --card-status

It seems nondeterministic.  Which is, I know, not the case -- but it's
incredibly frustrating.  At risk of pointing out the obvious, I'm not a
newcomer to GnuPG: if I was a newbie facing this, I would likely be
overwhelmed by the seeming intractability of getting smartcards working
reliably with GNOME 3.

I'm frustrated and angry, and I'm just going to leave the problem here
for a bit.  If anyone has any advice, I'll be coming back to this
problem tomorrow.  Maybe letting it sit for a while will spur my brain
into solving it.
