So, where should I start to look? Is it correct to assume that kmail starts kgpg which starts gpg-agent? how can I get debug output?
1. In KGpg you have an option to activate use of gpg agent - this must be checked, so that agent starts. I think you should logout/login to the desktop.
2. When you start gpg agent manually it returns a variable, which you can export, so that all aware programs can use the same agent
export | grep GPG declare -x GPG_AGENT_INFO="/tmp/gpg-orCHGE/S.gpg-agent:4802:1"
Just use option 1. as it works well in TDE
I hope this helps
