Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.0.18-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm having trouble making gnupg-agent work with pinentry when ibus is
around. The problem happens when sending a signed email with kmail. When
I hit the Send button it should ask me the password but it actually
tells me "Signing failed: Bad passphrase". The bug looks pretty similar
to the one discribed on RedHat bugzilla [0].

I made a try earlier and unsetting XMODIFIERS, QT_IM_MODULE and
GTK_IM_MODULE did work but I can't make it work now. Maybe gnupg-agent
or ibus need to be killed before unsetting these variable. However, this
bug seems to have been fixed by upstream [1]. I checked this Debian
package and, without surprise considering the date of the patch, it
contains the mentionned code.

I have no clue what could be the problem but I'll run whatever test you
need to solve this issue. One way of seeing the problem is to run:
gpg-connect-agent "GET_PASSPHRASE gpg:foo foo bar baz" /bye

Sometime I can see the pinentry window appear and disappear immediately.
This is probably what makes kmail say the passphrase is incorrect, like
if I was sending a return immediately.

Best regards.
