Pinentry-qt is installed.
BTW, I party do get a password dialog:
The strange (or funny) behaviour is:

I have tried with several keys (generated by Kgpg), including completely new 
ones. Then I sent several messages to myself. And whats happening now is: An 
old e-mail encrypted with a key deleted in Kgpg can still be decrypted by 
kmail. A password dialog pops up, and it works fine with the old password.

However, any new key works only for encryption, where I am asked for the PW, 
but I am not asked after receiving the mail when I want to read it. 
Kpgp's editor decrypts the mail, if I copy the sourcecode, thus enc. seems to 
work.
:-)

I guess I will try to remove ~/gnupg and try again.
