SUMMARY

Expert mode KGpg key generation only works if the user is using the default GnuPG home. This is common for some users who juggle multiple keychains, which there are a variety of good reasons for doing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Outside KGpg, create a GnuPG home dir. E.g., run at minimum:

  $ mkdir -m 0700 ~/.gnupg-kde_bug_report
  $ gpg2 --homedir=!$ --list-keys
  gpg2 --homedir=~/.gnupg-kde_bug_report --list-keys
  gpg: keybox '/home/fred/.gnupg-kde_bug_report/pubring.kbx' created
  gpg: /home/fred/.gnupg-kde_bug_report/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
  $ touch ~/.gnupg-kde_bug_report/gpg.conf

2. Inside KGpg, go to «Settings→GnuPG Settings». Set the home location to ~/.gnupg-kde_bug_report using the GUI.
3. «Keys→Generate Keypair…». Observe it works if not clicked «Expert Mode». (bugzip/working example.png)
4. «Keys→Generate Keypair…». Observe breakage as soon as clicked «Expert Mode». (bugzip/broken example.png)

OBSERVED RESULT

Terminal opens and fails to launch child gpg2.

EXPECTED RESULT

Successful launch of gpg2.
