Hi, Mark.  I only found this today, as some messages got mis-filed during the 
copying over to the new server.

I've installed it, but I have big problems with gpg on this box.  Whenever 
there is a signature to be checked I get runaway cpu usage and gpg has to be 
killed.

At various times I have used different methods for stopping/starting 
gpg-agent.  I used to use /env and /shutdown scripts under .kde.  Then later 
I used the statement "eval `gpg-agent --daemon`" in .bash_profile.  I've 
tried both methods in CentOS, but both give me these runaway problems.  After 
a few of them kmail crashes and the trustdb gets corrupted.  Maybe I should 
try to remove everything connected with gpg and reinstall?

As to starting and stopping gpg-agent, please advise the best method to use.
