I have the same problem, too - Kubuntu 9.04 RC with KDE 4.2.2.

Does this mean it generally is not possible to have KMail sign and decrypt
mails without gpg-agent? KGpg can do exactly that, it just asks me for the
password itself (of course there is no caching and it asks every time I need
it, but that's ok). The very first time KMail had to decrypt an encrypted mail
(since I selected all mails of a folders and marked them as "Ham"), I got a
password dialogue from KMail (it was definitely a KDE and not a Qt one), so
something like that has to be in the sources. Since then, whenever I want to
sign or decrypt a mail without gpg-agent it tells me the passphrase is wrong.
If it is indeed not meant to work without gpg-agent, I'll add that as wishlist
entry.

Btw, is it normal that the configuration window of the "OpenPGP" crypto module
in KMail is just empty?
