Ok Tristan, thanks. I went and opened an account on my wife's pc which uses Ubuntu Desktop and just has gnupg 1 installed as basic. Thunderbird and enigmail sent off a signed mail with no problem after asking for my password. I then un-installed gnupg2 from my pc, rebooted and sent a test signed message ok - Thunderbird and enigmail presented the usual pinentry dialog (showing pinentry-GTK-2) asking for password. I have checked with some signing and encrypting and verfiying using a terminal (gpg 1.4.16) and all now works as it should. Terminal reports pinentryQt4. So either the UbuntuStudio release of gnupg2 is defective or gnupg 1 and gnupg2 have problems of coexistence. But the gnupg.org site does say they can coexist. I'll try and take it up with Ubuntu.
