Created attachment 316185 [details] emerge --info I'm using KDE-4.8.4 and I have a specific problem with mail-client/thunderbird: When I start it "the normal KDE way" (using the runner that comes when pressing Alt + F2), enigmail doesn't work (failed to initialize enigmail) and when I then close thunderbird (clicking on the X in the upper-right corner of the window), the windows gets closed but the thunderbird-process stays alive and when I try to start it again it says there's an instance running. I then need to kill the process manually. When starting thunderbird from the konsole, everything is fine. At first I believed in a minor local glitch but today this happened to a friend of mine so now it's time for a bug report. If only I knew what is different between those two methods of starting I could maybe find a hint there but I have no idea.
This is caused from your kde not setting up gpg properly upon launch nothing I can do to fix this, is up to the user to fix. Please refer to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml#doc_chap4
Yep, that solved it. I was using a gpg-agent which was auto-started by KDE but I had the info/steps from another guide which was obviously a little wrong there. Thanks for the clarification.
