Exactly that is the case. For some reasons I have /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
with "gtk-entry-password-hint-timeout = 600". After removing that it is
fine.

I usually do not use gnome stuff for high secure stuff so that was fine
until now. But with the change of pinentry to use that widget, there is
a big problem with that.

FYI, my current content of that file:
   gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
   gtk-can-change-accels = 1
   gtk-entry-select-on-focus = 0
   gtk-entry-password-hint-timeout = 600
   gtk-recent-files-enabled = 0

I'm still not sure if a switch to that widget is the best move.

Regards
