I installed pinentry-qt4 and added the lines to the conf files, but I'm not sure what to do about X. The instructions assume that I start KDE by logging into the console and typing "startx". I use kdm, and I'd like it to work whether I log into KDE (my usual) or XFCE (something doesn't work, but it's probably fixed in the new quarterly). Where do I put the gpg-agent command?
You'll have to either customize your KDM session scripts for KDE & XFCE to launch this (see the KDM docs), start it from a terminal with an active gpg-agent, or hack up a KMail start script which starts it first and connect your menu items to that instead of KMail directly. Xdm has a hook to run ~/.xsession rather than changing the system wide scripts - this might work here - or if not there might be some KDM analogue. Not a KDE user so not 100% Basically, whatever process starts KMail will need to have the environment variable settings generated by the gpg-agent, wherever that falls in the sequence of inherited environment vars Cheers, - Chris
