[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#930062: enigmail: Engimail decrypt-passphrase window takes control of desktop

I managed to get things back to normal, perhaps this can help (at least 
someone).


In .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf I went from "pinentry-program pinentry-qt" to 
"pinentry-program pinentry". After each edition of that file, I did 
`killall gpg-agent`, and to test (from Enigmail troubleshooting doc) :

gpg-connect-agent <<EOT
GET_CONFIRMATION Hello
EOT

When "pinentry-program" set to "pinentry-qt" (with or without the full 
path), I get the error "ERR 67108949 No pinentry <GPG Agent>". However, 
with other tests, such as:

pinentry-qt <<EOT
SETDESC Hello World
CONFIRM
EOT

I can see the QT Pinentry prompt.

I have to either comment out "pinentry-program" or set it to "pinentry" 
and everything is back to "normal".

I'm not sure where to go from here, for now, I can at least read emails 
as usual.



Cheers,
