Package: pinentry-gtk2
Version: 0.9.7-5~bpo8+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

First, prepare an encrypted file with gpg that I call myfile.gpg.
To reproduce this bug, I do :
1. Open two windows of xfce4-terminal
2. Type F11 to put one terminal in full screen.
3. Alt-Tab to return in the other terminal.
4. Run : gpg -d myfile.gpg
5. pinentry is launched automatically.
6. Type Alt-Tab to return on the other terminal.
Now it is impossible to launch any command or to select another window.
X is locked.

Only a "kill -9" from a non-graphic console is possible and after that,
Alt-Tab or F11 is possible again.

I think that Alt-Tab should be forbidden when pinentry-gtk2 is displayed.
