Note that the bug was merged to itself. Do not use -1 when several
bugs are mentioned in To/Cc. I think that both bugs 845565 and
853066 should be reassigned to pinentry-gnome3, *then* forcemerge'd
with bug 841909.

In my case, I do not use GNOME at all, but expect X11 tools in a X11
context (e.g. pinentry-gtk-2). IMHO, either pinentry-gnome3 should
detect the context and do the necessary fallback(s), or a pinentry
wrapper should be preferred to the alternatives system: it would
detect the context and launch the right pinentry-* program (with
fallback when not installed).
