Hmmm.  I also installed gnupg (and performed the security upgrade 
to v1.0.6).  Nowhere did I see any reference to a predefined 
key or pass phrase.

Reading file:/usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.0.6/README, I simply typed
    gpg --gen-key
followed the prompts, and, as you can see, am now able to sign
emails with kmail.  Of course, I did all this not as root, but
as my regular linux userid.
