[Sheflug] Hand Holding

[Alec Melling <melling [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am looking for a bit of hand holding as I get my email encryption working.

I am using Kmail and seem to have the security configuration set correctly. 
However when I try to decrypt an incoming message it tells me "could not be 
decrypted no passphase"

I have just found some info that says that the problem lies with the gpg-agent 
not running. To get this up and running I need extend my X start-up as 
follows

eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)
startkde
killall gpg-agent


It would seem that my X start-up is ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession

I have had a lookin in both files and .xinitrc states that it contains the X 
start-up. It all so contains a line at the end that says 'Add your own lines 
here...'

What I really want to know, as someone who has not done this sort of thing 
before is:
A. Is .xinitrc the file I extend?
B. Do I replace 'add your own lines' with the extension or insert it the 
extension after this?
C. Am I likely to do any real damage doing this....
