The KMail one (I think). By the way, I am using pinentry-gtk as, at least in
Gentoo, pinentry-qt seems to be broken.

I got that in my x startup script and checked it manually.

Mhh, I am not sure now (not at home) but in the howto on the kde site they
say something about GNUPG_AGENT_INFO and if I remember correctly my
gpg-agante sets a variable called GPG_AGENT_INFO. Could this be the problem
and only KMail (but not eg kgpg) is affected?

See my note above.


Thanks for the help so far.
