Wasn't trying to be nasty.  Just tired and frustrated.

This is a transcript of the test with gpg-agent used.  It invoked pinentry-=
qt=20
which I gave the passphrase to and it obviously passed it to gpg.  Starting=

kgpgcertmgr still crashes.

$ echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0x545A095F | gpg

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Paradigm-Omega, LLC (Master) <paradigm-omega@paradigm-omega.com>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 545A095F, created 2003-06-15

gpg: forcing symmetric cipher TWOFISH (10) violates recipient preferences

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Paradigm-Omega, LLC (Master) <paradigm-omega@paradigm-omega.com>"
4096-bit ELG-E key, ID B2DD65F4, created 2003-06-15 (main key ID 545A095F)

gpg: Good signature from "Paradigm-Omega, LLC (Master)=20

Also when trying to use it, I get:

This message could not be signed!
The Crypto Plug-In '/usr/local/lib/cryptplug/gpgme-openpgp.so' reported the=

following details:
#19 : No Passphrase
Your configuration might be invalid or the Plug-In damaged.
Please contact your system administrator.

And of course, as long as use gpg-agent is in the config, I can't enter a=20
passphrase "the old-fashioned" way.
