[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#850708: Bug#850708: gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Hi There,

I think this is a bug with pinentry-gtk-2. Running it almost always
results in the following warning:

    $ echo getpin | pinentry-gtk-2
    OK Pleased to meet you

    ** (pinentry-gtk-2:28067): WARNING **: it took 32 tries to grab the keyboard
    D this is a test
    OK

Sometimes it (erratically) fails outright as follows:

    $ echo getpin | pinentry-gtk-2
    OK Pleased to meet you

    ** (pinentry-gtk-2:28071): WARNING **: it took 38 tries to grab the keyboard

    ** (pinentry-gtk-2:28071): CRITICAL **: could not grab pointer: already grabbed (1)
    ERR 83886179 Operation cancelled <Pinentry>

If I replace pinentry-gtk-2 with pinentry-qt or pinentry-curses I don't
get any such warning anymore. (For pinentry-curses I have to type
getpin, and redirect the stdin, of course.)

It may or may not be related to the fact that I'm running under fvwm,
and not a standard desktop environment.
