When I login, it now goes all the way through starting up KDE and finally prompts for my passphrase (albeit with the gnome askpass program; oh well). I prefer the old way, but no doubt I'll get used to this, at least it works :-) I could find no other way to do it. Also the keys will be 'lost' when I logout since the kde process (startkde) will finish. Have to admit that that is nice.
