Hi Daniel,

the default pinentry is setup via the alternatives mechanism, i.e.
system wide. Installing pinentry-qt4 switched the default pinentry from
gnome3 to qt4, since pinentry-qt4 has a higher priority.

This is definitely not something we want inside the GNOME desktop.

Please provide a mechanism in gnupg-agent to select the default pinentry
program on a per desktop basis.

The same problem is valid for other desktop environments, e.g. Xfce
might prefer the gtk2 pinentry program and simply having pinentry-gnome3
installed shouldn't break that.

Regards,
Michael
