What I've seen paranoid people do, and I'd probably do if I had a
front-side USB port (and a bit of cash to spare!) is get one of
those keyring USB drives - put your gpg secret key onto it, and plug
it in when you need to sign or decrypt something.

And with even more money, have a second one with the gpg-encrypted
file of passphrases (meaning you'd need 2 free USB ports to read it
:)
