Re: gpg in KDE, passphrase window, passphrase timeout

I'm a little confused: I use gpg from the console and when asking for my

, it raises a KDE window and prompts me to type it there. Why? I also
would like gpg to cache the passphrase for a certain period of time so
that I don't have to type it again and again. Any ideas?

G.

You certainly have gpg-agent installed and running.
The configuration .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf tells which program to launch to ask
password.
I have "pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt" for a kde window.
