[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#836772: pinentry fails when used from dedicated account via su -

[W. Martin Borgert]

Ramakrishnan, many thanks for your bug report. I came across the
same problem today, but with "sudo -i -u xxx" and under XFCE4,
not Gnome. So I just used your solution - login via VT.

Interestingly, after using gpg once from the VT (and the
gpg-agent process was still running after logging out from the
VT, not from within X11), gpg worked also in the sudo session
under X11.

Btw, Dan, I don't believe, that this setup is so unusual - or
I'm unusual :~)
