kwallet freezes when creating a gpg encrypted wallet

Hi,

I tried to move on from kwallet blowfish encryption to gpg.

I have kwallet running with a single wallet and blowfish encryption.

To get a second wallet, gpg encrypted, I did the following:

Frist I generated a key pair in Kgpg storing the password in the blowfish encypted wallet

Then I created a new wallet with kwalletmanager choosing gpg as encryption method. The dialog for choosing the key pop up, I picked the key, pressed ok ................... and the wallet manager window froze.

I had to kill kwalletd5 to get everything back to work. Running again kwalletmanager5 it listed the newly created wallet, but trying to open it resulted in another freeze.

I noticed that after killing kwalletd5 the window of pinentry-kwallet popped up asking me for a password to get the key decrypted. So it appears as if there is some misscommunication between kwalletmanager and gnupg.

Any idea were the trouble comes from??

Thanks
