Actually I should have tested this a little better. It turns out I must
have missed a notification window telling me that the key could still
not be found. The following messages are printed to the terminal for
example.

        X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
          Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
          Resource id:  0x3a03985
        X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
          Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
          Resource id:  0x3a03985
        X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
          Major opcode: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
          Resource id:  0x3a03985

So I found out that the file was not encrypted yesterday, because I was
not asked for password.

Trying »Save as« again and choosing a key I am told the key cannot be
found. The key expired some month ago but I extended the expiration date
using `gpg --edit-key`. That could be the problem since using another
(unedited) key no error occurs and encrypted storage works. Is a key
copy saved somewhere in KMyMoney so that there is still the old key?

Trying to add a new key the following messages are printed to the
terminal.

        kmymoney(24167): couldn't create slave: "Aufruf des Ein-/Ausgabemoduls nicht möglich.
        klauncher meldet: Unbekanntes Protokoll „“.
        " 
        QFile::remove: Empty or null file name


Thanks,

Paul
