Don't. Use pinentry-gtk for now.

Ralf, please don't package pinentry-qt until the problems there are=20
fixed. Also, please make sure that whenever you announce something like=20
that, you point the people to read
  http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/devleopment.en.html (OpenPG + S/MIME)
  http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html
_first_. The S/MIME code is not in an "alpha" subdir on ftp.gnupg.org=20
for fun you know... ;-)

KMail builtin is "inline"/clearsigned and can work with PGP 2.6.x, PGP=20
5.0 and PGP 6.8.x, too. It cannot encrypt or sign body parts other than=20
the first text/plain part.
The OpenPGP plugin creates OpenPGP/MIME (rfc 3156/rfc 2015) messages,=20
with which you can encrypt/sign all body parts of a message. It only=20
works with gpg.
Unless you want to work with pgp versions, you can safely ignore KMail's=20
builtin pgp/gpg support (e.g. by setting the OpenPGP plugin to active).

The KControl module is OpenSSL-based and KDE-specific. GnuPG has it's=20
own certificate storage (with smartcard support), which you can=20
GUI-access with KGpgCertManager or on the command line via gpgsm.
