Ingo, you're a star!  Why it happened, I have no idea, but it looks as though 
that is exactly what did happen.  With a new keyring I requested my key from 
the server.  After that I could add it to the identity, and signing and 
encryption appear to be working perfectly.

It only remains now to see whether kmail is importing keys automatically.  In 
may experience kgpg doesn't show new keys immediately, but it should be 
obvious by morning.

Thanks again
