OK, while I was not able to download a live CD for Jessie to test in a
clean environment I was able to verify the following on my main computer.

"export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim;echo GETPIN | pinentry-gtk-2" fails
This is the subject of this ticket

"export GTK_IM_MODULE="";echo GETPIN | pinentry-gtk-2" WORKS
because it bypasses scim completely

"export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim;echo GETPIN | pinentry-qt4" WORKS
Only the GTK2 version of the program is affected which leads me to
believe this might have something to do with a GTK2/GTK3
incompatibility. I can type just fine in gjots2, though, which is also a
GTK2 program.

"export GTK_IM_MODULE="";echo GETPIN | pinentry-curses" FAILS
suggesting there is something essentially wrong with pinentry as well
