Just a sidenote. On my VM I realized that kdm returned to the login
screen when nograp was active. I had to comment it out and then the
KDE session was loaded again.

Yes, indeed that took me a step further. First of all gpg-agent got
loaded and the environment variable was set when using pinentry-qt4.
Without that setting the gnome-keyring is (somehow automatically) used
(to be more precise the /usr/lib/gnome-keyring/gnome-keyring-prompt
program) in my gnome 3 session, but KDE does not seem to fall back on
that by default.
For gpg 1.4 that behavior is ok, since enigmail has its own enter pin
dialog. But when you use gpg2 as I do a proper gpg-agent is required.

OK, seems to be solved now, thanks a lot for your suggestions and help!

Cheers
