I know nothing of Kpg, but perhaps we can determine whether the issue
is with gpg or Kgpg and that might narrow down where to look.

Are your secret keys listed by "gpg --list-secret-keys" ?  If so, then
the problem isn't with the keyrings.  It could be with Kgpg or the
gpg-agent setup (IIRC, that was what the problem a few days ago was).
