kmail calls gpg, and gpg calls gpg-agent, and gpg-agent is by default configured to call /usr/bin/pinentry. This name is handled by the alternatives system, and so it should point to the "best" pinentry you have installed. Or you can override the alternatives locally, of course. So the KDE 3 to 4 upgrade should work without problems. You probably have some nondefault configuration in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. If so, you get what you ask for. If you don't like it, configure something else. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
