Hi Santiago, repeated your test here and actually found something interesting. When committing via 'git gui', commits are not being gpg-signed, while firing a 'git commit' shows the passphrase dialog and signs the commit correctly.
Here's what I did:
git init gpg-signing-test && cd gpg-signing-test
git config --local commit.gpgSign true
echo 'Commits in this repo must all GPG signed!' > aFile.txt
git gui --> add change and commit
Result: No dialog shown and not pgp-signed!
Now I went further:
vi aFile.txt --> Prepend a "# " as another change
git commit
Here the passphrase dialog showed up and the commit got correctly signed!
Side-Note: I also set "user. signingkey" in "global" Git configuration.
My local repo's config:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[commit]
gpgSign = true
[gui]
wmstate = normal
geometry = 872x391+0+0 205 177

What you mean by wme? Is it the gpg-agent's config or something?
Hope that points in the right direction.
Cheers,
Nils
