In my case (and I suppose that this is the case of other users too),
I have both the X session on the physical machine and a SSH session
from a remote machine. So, the above command would not be correct,
because when I go back to the X session, I still want gpg-agent to
be running.

The fact that gpg (which has the expected $DISPLAY) conveys DISPLAY
to gpg-agent should be sufficient to tell where pinentry should
open its window (or use the text terminal when DISPLAY is unset).
But the problem is that this does not work.
