Bug#523354: Can confirm bug and workaround



tags 523354 - unreproducible
thanks

I can confirm that this bug exists in KDE 4.4.5 (kmail 1.13.5) in squeeze.

Please check also related KDE bugs:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246808
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233277

With a default kde installation in squeeze (mine is fresh) kmail is not able 
to sign messages. One must open Kgpg (which is a different program) and 
set it 
to use gpg-agent and to start with each session. Once that is done, if you 
log-out of the session and log-in again, kmail will sign correctly if you ask 
it expressly to do, giving a pinentry dialog for the password. Kmail still 
lacks a way of setting it to sign all messages.

The procedure is completely counterintuitive, and moreover (due to kde bug 
246808 ) it can mess up gpg config and make it unusable until hand-fixed.

Moreover: the pinentry window does not show in first plane in screen but 
gets 
focused. This is more counterintuitive.

Thanks to all
