#23 GPG KeyChain Access expects gpg in /usr/local/bin
GPG Keychain Access crashes immediately after startup if the gpg is not
located at /usr/local/bin/gpg. I had it installed at /opt/local/bin/gpg.
As soon as I created a symbolic link, everything works fine. The crash log
indicates the error is in:
Exception: EXC_BREAKPOINT (0x0006) in Thread 1

Not really enough information to determine that gpg is missing. I
recommend making a short check during start, and if gpg is not in the
expected location, give a warning before quitting.

GPG Keychain Access doesn't use the latest MacGPGME framework version (1.1),
and thus expects gpg to be located in /usr/local/bin/. Once it will use
MacGPGME 1.1 framework, users will be able to use a different location for gpg.
As you mention it, GPG Keychain Access should check for gpg presence at
startup, and warn user when it can't find it. (I'm not the maintainer)
