I have tried that with the lates development version and on my non-gnome
desktop it shows this error message:

  $ gnome3/pinentry-gnome3 
  OK Pleased to meet you
  getpin

  ** (pinentry-gnome3:29667): WARNING **: couldn't create prompt for
     gnupg passphrase:
     GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
     org.gnome.keyring.SystemPrompter was not provided by any .service
     files

May it be that you have a similar problem?  Given that you won't stderr
output when Pinentry is called by gpg-agent, I added some debug code to
Pinentry.  In case it fails at this place, the debug-pinentry
gpg-agent.conf file setting will now produce this error:

  S ERROR gnome3.gcr_prompt 83886195 GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.\
    Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.keyring.SystemPrompter \
    was not provided by any .service files
  ERR 83886195 Configuration error <Pinentry>

Note that the final error message will be "configuration error".

The changes are in the Pinentry repo but we had no more release in the
last 9 months - thus porting this patch won't be easy.  I will do a new
release as soon as we have sorted out your problem.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
