I just installed KGpg on Suse9.2 and now I am getting this error message on startup- The use of GnuPG Agent is enabled in GnuPG's configuration file (/home/marc/.gnupg/gpg.conf). However, the agent does not seem to be running. This could result in problems with signing/decryption. Please disable GnuPG Agent from KGpg settings, or fix the agent. Soooo. OK, being that I am a dumb naive simple user who can't make heads or tails out of this message (boy do I wish programs and error messages were designed to guide us poor users to a solution, not just tell us "Sorry something is wrong" or "I cant do that"), anyone want to tell me what to do and how? ;-) Thanks... Marc.... P.S. I did take a look at the gpg.conf file and the comments in it can only be understood by the designers I think.... No help there either.... P.P.S I hope the guy who wrote this error message isn't seriously asking/expecting us poor users to "fix the agent"!!! Gulp!!

My somewhat vague memory is that I also had this problem, but that it disappeared when I opened KGpg and allowed it to create a key for me. You might try that. Best wishes, Gaunce Lewis
