Hello all,

I setup another computer and it worked flawlessly. Before starting kgpg or 
kmail, I created the file

~/.kde/env/gpg-agent-startup:
#!/bin/sh
eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

I had to create the 'env' directory. Once I saved this file and make it 
executable, I restarted X.

Then I setup Kmail and kgpg as normal. And encrypted email worked great.
