The problem is that while you are defining the path to gpg, it's not
possible to know if gpg2 is used or not, so the option cannot be just
disabled at this moment.

The check for gpg-agent is done once you click OK. You'll get a warning
dialog saying that the passphrase timeout might not be respected. If you
don't get that dialog, then you have probably seen that dialog before
and clicked on "do not show this message again".

The above is how the process /should/ work. It could be however, that
things behave differently on Windows, since gpg-agent is started
automatically by gpg2; I must admit I never checked this since I hardly
use Windows...
