What version of app-crypt/gnupg are you using? gnupg-2.1.x has known problems with current gnome-keyring ebuilds.
(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #2) > What version of app-crypt/gnupg are you using? > > gnupg-2.1.x has known problems with current gnome-keyring ebuilds. When I wrote the bug report, it was gnupg-2.0.27, now it is gnupg-2.1.3-r3. I did not yet check, if it works now with gnupg-2.1.3-r3.
