I too have never had an issue with Kgpg on 14.04 or any of the previous
releases but I empathize with your situation. Did you try removing and
re-installing to see if new libraries might pull in or something?

As a secondary solution, you might also want to give enigmail a go and
see how that works for you. Yes, having to go through Thunderbird to
utilize key management is rather bloated but, enigmail works really well
and enigmail will sync data nicely with Kgpg.
