Second problem...gpg or kgpg?

[John B]

  Hi again,

  Out of the blue, it seems kgpg doesn't see my .gnupg directory. I opened it 
up the other day just to check something, and it showed no keys at all. I 
went into the settings and all it allows is to see my /home/me directory 
which has a couple of .asc keys(?) in it but had no gpg.conf file until I 
imported the .asc keys.
  Is there a way to fix what's going on? Has this happened to anyone else? I 
did absolutely nothing with gpg or kgpg...no updates (other than the SuSE 
security update 2 or 3 months ago IIRR) to either of them. Still with 1.4.1 I 
think it is and was working fine until I happened to see it the other day.
  Sorry I'm not too good at explaining myself, but if there's any more info 
needed, it's easier if someone asks me and then I'll know better what needs 
to be said about my problem.
