    I'll make a very wild guess - I don't have real knowledge of this, but I
    have a suspicion.

    KDE does lots of things, and it has a kind of gnupg agent for use by
    programs needing gpg. Probably, if there is a .gnupg directory this
    program or whatever gets started and provides services. Then, it will be
    this program which is interacting with yours strangely.

    You could have a look around these:

    /opt/kde3/bin/kgpg
    /opt/kde3/bin/kgpgcertmanager
    /opt/kde3/share/apps/kgpg
    /opt/kde3/share/apps/kgpgcertmanager
