How does it work? Do you get a passphrase dialog? Or do you enter the=20
passphrase in the terminal?

Last time I tried adding this statement to the /usr/bin/startkde didn't=20
work. Please open a Konsole and enter 'echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO'. If you=20
don't get an output similar to "/tmp/gpg-bAb9Bd/S.gpg-agent:2413:1"=20
then you will have to start the gpg-agent another way. For example=20
start the agent with the usual command, i. e. 'eval "$(gpg-agent=20
=2D-daemon)"' in Konsole and then start KMail with 'kmail' in the same=20
Konsole. Now it should work.

Ingo
