The config file is named gpg.conf, and it's in a directory named .gnupg 
in your home directory. The leading period is important; among other 
things, it means that the directory is hidden in the Finder and in 
normal listings from the command prompt in Terminal.

<https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/gpg/gpg-com-1.htm>; scroll down 
to the section named "Special".

I would test this myself, but I have temporarily broken my gnupg 
install. :-(
