I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm missing a package here, as no matter what I do I get the message that gpg-agent is not running and I should remove reference to it in the config or fix it. Here's what I seem to have:
Installed Packages libgpg-error.i386 1.4-2 installed Available Packages gpgme.i386 1.0.3-1.el5.rf rpmforge gpgme-devel.i386 1.0.3-1.el5.rf rpmforge gpgme03.i386 0.3.16-1.el5.rf rpmforge gpgme03-devel.i386 0.3.16-1.el5.rf rpmforge libgpg-error-devel.i386 1.4-2 base perl-Crypt-GPG.noarch 1.63-1.el5.rf rpmforge perl-Mail-GPG.noarch 1.0.6-1.el5.rf rpmforge
Now I realise that /usr/bin/gpg-agent does not exist. There are just
gpg gpg-error gpgsplit gpgv gpg-zip kgpg
Package gnupg - 1.4.5-13.i386 is already installed. Package pinentry - 0.7.2-1.el5.rf.i386 is already installed.
What am I missing?

GnuPG 2.0 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for OpenPGP and S/MIME. It does not conflict with an installed 1.x OpenPGP-only version.
GnuPG 2.0 is a newer version of GnuPG with additional support for S/MIME. It has a different design philosophy that splits functionality up into several modules. Both versions may be installed simultaneously without any conflict (gpg is called gpg2 in GnuPG 2). In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG 1.x is able to make use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG 2 and allows for seamless passphrase caching. The advantage of GnupG 1.x is its smaller size and no dependency on other modules at run and build time.

Thanks, Phil and Rex. Everything's absolutely fine, now. That just leaves the terrible konqueror problem, and no-one seems to have any ideas on that. :-(

I was trying to use Konqueror as a file manager :-) The root konqueror (and other users' konqueror) were all fine, but my ~/.kde got nuked during extreme power problems in the village. It's been terrible fight to get everything back and sorted, but I think this was the last problem.

You always have Midnight Commander on the commandline.

To be honest, my mind was on getting the system back in order. I never considered the possibility of adding new software packages. The box in question is normally accessed only remotely, often for weeks at a time. It doesn't have lots of applications installed. Its function is file/print/imap server. Now and then I work at that desktop for a few hours, but it's not frequent.

When it's working properly it's a breeze, but everything that makes file management possible is what I'd lost :-( I'm a happy bunny now, though. It's all working again, and (fingers crossed and hope fate isn't listening) I think that gpg and konqueror were the last problems to iron out. They were also among the most important, though, after IMAP.

Glad you have things up and running again. Since you use KDE, and to get closer to the topic of this thread, do you use KGpg? I've tried it a few times.

Yes, I've used it for years. It integrates nicely with kde-pim, and gives a gui interface that is great for quick checks on status, etc.. I still use CLI, though, for serious maintenance. Kgpg would probably do it well enough, but I just get paranoid over some things :-) and take comfort in CLI output (or lack of it, in some cases).
