You might want to look through the gpa-dev mailing list > archive at gnupg.org, there was some discussion of this. Their fix was to make it insecure :-/ Actually, both graphical pinentry programs (-gtk and -qt) are broken in some way. The QT version shows a warning at start ("Warning: using insecure memory!") and the GTK version still is based upon gtk-1.2 thus having problems with UTF-8 locales. It would make sense if ssh-askpass and pinentry would be compatible in a way to make front-end sharing possible but still fit the needs of both of them... BTW: how can I make a QT program use a look like KDE's keramik theme?
