That is indeed a bit strange. Is kgpg running in the background?

Install the "gnupg-agent" package and put "use-agent" into your
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. The time-to-live for the passphrase can be set in
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. ("default-cache-ttl" and "max-cache-ttl", both
in seconds)
The gnupg-agent package puts a file into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ which
starts the agent automatically with your X session if "use-agent" is
present in your gpg.conf.
