Thank you Alexis!

To make gpg-agent permanent in my KDE-session, I followed this link:

How to set up gpg-agent for use with KDE and KMail
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_KMail_gpg-agent_kde

from the gentoo wiki, especially this part:

##################
Setup 
[edit] Setting up gpg-agent with KDE 
In order to use the gpg-agent with KDE, you'll want it to start up and have 
its environment variables added to KDE's environment before KDE starts. 
Thankfully, KDE allows us to do this quite easily. 
 Create the directory ~/.kde/env 
 Create a file in the directory called gpg-agent.sh (the actual filename is 
irrelevant, so long as it ends in .sh) like so: 
File: ~/.kde/env/gpg-agent.sh  
  eval `gpg-agent --daemon`

   Make the file executable (doubt this is necessary as it's probably sourced 
rather than executed) 
 Log out of KDE if you're in KDE and log back in. 

 
 Create the directory ~/.kde/shutdown 
 Create a file in the directory called gpg-agent.sh (again the filename is 
irrelevant) like so: 
File: ~/.kde/shutdown/gpg-agent.sh  
  #!/bin/sh
# the second field of the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable is the
# process ID of the gpg-agent active in the current session
# so we'll just kill that, rather than all of them :)
[[ -n ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} ]] && kill `echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d ':' -f 2`

   Make the file executable, as KDE executes this file when you shut down.
####################

I believe the files are being sourced, so no need to make them executable.


I know that's sort of a hack, but I have no time for patching and compiling, 
sorry!
Thanks to all the KDE Developers, you are doing a great job!
