Ok, I tried to insert the line at the end of startkde, but it does not work.
And by now, I am unable toi start any pinentry! -gtk does not work any more.

The error messages are:
gpg-agent[6426]: can't connect server: ec=-1
gpg-agent[6426]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: ec=-1
gpg-agent[6426]: command get_passphrase failed: no pin entry

gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() returned this error code:  19

Does anyone knows something about that?

cat gpg-agent.conf shows:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800

And: is there any possibility to use both versions of gpg signing? Cause if 
you activate the gpg-agent, the old plugin doesn't work anymore.
