I installed keychain, created a file in profile.d which I tested manually (and 
it worked) and then rebooted.

Then 
[mskjoldebrand at dragon ~]$ ps aux | grep gpg-agent
mskjold+  1491  0.0  0.0 112644   928 pts/1    S+   05:41   0:00 grep --
color=auto gpg-agent

Hmm gpg-agent isn't there ... still I tried creating a new signed message from 
KMail, and it actually works.

Shouldn't gpg-agent show up in ps aux | grep gpg-agent if it's run from 
profile.d? 

Or have I worked from outdated gpg-docs, and KMail finds gpg anyway (it didn't 
before) and wasted everyuones time? =(
