Nope it does not.

GPA gives the following output:

C:\Users\SWEOLO>gpa --daemon
chan_00000464 -> OK Pleased to meet you

As I understand it, it communicates with the gpg-agent. For some reason, 
there seems to be a basic file I/O problem or similar, since it uses a 
file as a socket.

This is what I see in the gpg-agent.exe output if I run it from CLI:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG>gpg-agent.exe --debug 9 --daemon
gpg-agent[5136]: NOTE: no default option file 
`C:\Users\SWEOLO\AppData\Roaming\g

To me, this is probably a pretty common error under Windows 7? Has anyone 
else seen this? Any fix/work-around?
