Does the gpg-agent keeps the keys unlocked for the session?

That would be true, and make sense *if* the wallet were being closed and opened again.  But that is not the case with the setting and the way I use it.  Once opened, it never closes until not longer being used.  So, even after 2 hours the wallet remains opened and no passphrase is needed/used to keep it open.  It remains unlocked.
