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?
