I've meant that it tried to fetch and external certificate
as far as I have studied the log.

No. You could try debug-level guru or a newer dirmngr.

Could you post a message where this problem appears to the public?

Is there an audit log button? If yes, what does pressing it say?
What is the debugging level of gpgsm.conf? Maybe try "expert" or "guru" the=

You should also check the .xsession output of kmail.
