After playing with the before/after-backups the problem breaks down to this (but I am not
100% sure if this is the whole story):
The workflow for setting up email accounts is this:
get an create an account for the user from the admin, create a gpg-keypair with kgpg, set
up kmail and verify it works unencrypted, and at last add gpg support.
So in kmail open settings-dialog, then "Identities", select an identity,
"Change", open the "Crypto"-tab, "OpenPGP Key" -> Change,
a dialog apears where the "search"-field is filled with the identities
email-address. (this field is empty, when you already have a gpg key assoziated with this
identity). Now that prefilled emailaddress does never match any emailaddress in the gnupg
keyring, so the list under the search filed is empty and the user has nothing to select
from. An unsuspecting user will try to use all buttons on this dialog, but it will lead to
nothing. (The only way to associate a gpg key is to clear the search field)
In this state it does not matter if the "use agent"-checkmark in kgpg is set or
not, it will ask for the passphrase every time. As soon as the identidy has a correct gpg
key assigned to it the "use agent" settings in kgpg work.

Hi!
I'll post the diffs
from the backups before/after operation tomorrow - as
soon as I get the archives.
I had to
guide my minon in command by phone and it turned out it's easier
to order a reboot than an ordered restart of TDE :-)

I just found out that I have a configuration file
cd $HOME
cat .gnupg/gpg.conf
use-agent
no-greeting

This is again visible in the gui. Perhaps you could try test this with a
fresh account. The
"GnuPG agent" checkmark was set, so unset it, reboot, set
checkmark, reboot, kmail worls as expected :-)
Glad to hear, however ... if it was checked and the agent was not
available, it needs further investigation - possible bug? Just for
the files: I used "reboot" because it's easier to get it right
on the phone this way ...
Just for the files: I did not get this part with "the phone"
