Odd.  It definitely sounds like something kmail or kgpg related.  If
it was gnupg, I wouldn't think you'd be able to descypt things.

You could skip setting up Thunderbird and just test gpg from a
terminal.  If you can list keys, sign, verify, encrypt, and decrypt
from the command line, that would seem to rule out gpg.

Some example commands to try:

gpg --list-keys
gpg --list-secret-keys

echo testing> /tmp/gpgtest
gpg --sign -a /tmp/gpgtest
gpg --verify /tmp/gpgtest.asc
gpg -r annew@xxxxxxx --encrypt /tmp/gpgtest
gpg --decrypt /tmp/gpgtest.gpg

(Replace annew@xxxxxxx if that's not the address on one of your keys.)
