Hello Bob,
I use kgpg every day and afaik this is the correct behaviour.
For your first question, try the "Shred source file" option under Settings->Configure Kgpg->Encryption. That will remove the original file once it has been encrypted. For me, I tend to leave this turned off since I move the encrypted file to my thumbdrive (leaving the original on my computer).
For the second question, gpg-agent (which kgpg really just calls) remembers your passpharse for a limited amount of time. I think the default is 5min (300 seconds). I can't seem to find the gpg-agent config file on my system (openSUSE 10.1), but I think you can configure this feature in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. I just can't seem to find the out how. If run gpg-agent --help you will see the --default-cache-ttl option. I'm just which configure file needs to be edited.
Hope this helps,

Thanks Alvin and Boyan,
Guess it is working OK. Maybe I will customize it later.
