[Bug 1285655] [NEW] Cannot access Kwallet with GPG encryption after logging out and back in

[Kevin Rogers]

Public bug reported:

I've just set up a new installation of Ubuntu 13.10, then installed KDE
4.12.2 from the kubuntu-ppa (ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports). One of the
reasons for doing this was to take advantage of the GPG backend for
Kwallet, as the more secure my saved passwords are the better.

The KDE installation seems to be working just fine, so I set up a new
Kwallet (called kdewallet) and chose the GPG encryption option. I had
set up a new GPG key for this purpose, so I chose that as the signing
key and clicked "finish".

The new wallet appeared to be working, so I imported my old wallet using
an XML export. This successfully imported my passwords into the new
wallet, so I carried on working for the rest of the day using this
wallet.

Today, I logged in and tried to open the wallet, but was greeted with
the following error dialog box

Error when attempting to decrypt the wallet kdewallet_broken using GPG. If you're using a SmartCard, please ensure it's inserted then try again.
GPG error was Bad passphrase

Clicking "Retry" just shows the same dialog box again, clicking "cancel"
just leaves the wallet closed.

I've tried creating new empty wallets with the GPG backend, but get
exactly the same behaviour after a log out and in cycle.

For the time being, I've reverted to using the classic encryption
method, which works just fine.
