Only your private keys will be shown in this dialog.

KMail uses the following command to get a list of all public keys:
gpg --batch --list-public-keys --with-fingerprint --with-colons --fixed-list-mode \
--no-expensive-trust-checks
and this command to get a list of your secret keys:
gpg --batch --list-secret-keys --with-fingerprint --with-colons --fixed-list-mode
What output do you get if you run these commands from the command line?
Which version of GnuPG (gpg --version) do you use? You need at least
1.0.6, but you should install 1.0.7 because it's much faster.

Ingo
