Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-05-11 20:42:42 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=408477

1. on one box the kgpg after install configured its home to / (root) and
therefore it fails to work at all

2. it is not so easy to fix, as the Change Dir button in configuration
dialog next to home dir creates a choose-file dialog which do not show
hidden directories, so it is not possible to find there and use
/home/someone/.gnupg

3. when the directory is invalid the kgpg takes loong time to start up
(10 seconds?) and then silently fails (no error message) and displays 0
keys.

Short error message like: Warninig - no keyring found in home directory
(/) go to Opitons -> Configure to fix it  would be nice

I can't comment on #1, but #2 and #3 works in KDE4 and KDE 3.5.7. The file dialog does not show hidden folders by default but you can right click on any folder and select "show hidden folders". With an invalid directory it shows up immediately.
