Well, I've found the cause of kmail's problem, if not the solution.  Gpg is 
spawning lockfiles, but then taking 99% cpu time and getting no further.  I 
can only kill it and delete the lockfiles.  I tried removing gpg and 
reinstalling it, without success.  I'm really stuck.  I can use kmail on this 
old, slow laptop, or thunderbird/seamonkey on my workstation.
