Can you provide a bit more info, Daniel?  I can't reproduce the behavior
you're describing with 0.9.2-1.  A more full description of the fix as i
understand it is below.

I think you're saying you're using pinentry-qt4 version 0.9.2-1.

While the context menu available in the dialog box that pops up is
visible, i agree that cut and copy should be grayed out there,
permanently.  We do not want to leak the contents of the text entry to
any clipboard.

I expect paste to work into this Window via the traditional X11
mouse-middle-click insertion of the PRIMARY selection, and ctrl-V and
context-menu>Paste should insert the CLIPBOARD selection (see
http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html for details).

Testing just now, it looks to me like all of this works.  You can
replicate it by running pinentry-qt4 from the command line, and then
typing "GETPIN" into the terminal, followed by enter.

If you can find a situation where this is repeatably failing, please let
me know so i can reproduce it.

Regards,
