There's no gpg-agent running.

I installed pinentry-qt4 and added the lines to the conf files, but I'm not 
sure what to do about X. The instructions assume that I start KDE by logging 
into the console and typing "startx". I use kdm, and I'd like it to work 
whether I log into KDE (my usual) or XFCE (something doesn't work, but it's 
probably fixed in the new quarterly). Where do I put the gpg-agent command?
