Seb & I talked to Adam again.

Seahorse adds gpg.conf if it does not exist when seahorse-agent runs.
Seahorse's caching preferences set use-agent in gconf but not in the
file.

KMail and Evolution *both* claim "bad passphrase" if I use
seahorse-agent inside KDE. Evolution additionally uses 98% CPU for
about a minute before even bringing up the password prompt.
Seahorse-agent is definitely not playing nice inside KDE sessions.

Adam said he thinks telling the caching preferences to automatically
make gpg.conf match gconf should fix it. I took that to mean he's going
to try it.
