I can confirm this. As long as I use only KMail or Thunderbird without
installing kleopatra, I can avoid problems by editing the gpg-agent.conf file
and replace the prog "/usr/bin/pinentry-qt4" with "/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2"
instead of pinentry-qt4. This work-around is available and described by others.
However, as soon as I install kleopatra, the gpg-gent is "hard-coded" (?) to be
pinentry-qt4. Apparantly, pinentry-qt4 is causing a lot of problems, because
the Passphrase entry screen appears in a backgrounded window (can't be brought
to "focus"!). The passphrase pop-up is shown for less than a second and the
user has no chance to enter the passphrase. Immediately after the sequence, a
pop-up tells user that his PASSPHRASE is incorrect! No wonder, since the
passphrase field remains empty!! This breaks the whole GnuPG setup.

Distr: Kubuntu 11.04
