This new licq-gpg patch uses the pinentry program for getting the passphrase instead of reading it from the conf file.
pinentry is part of Ägypten (http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/), is used by gpg-agent and can be found at http://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/pinentry/.
Download, compile and install the newest tarball (currently pinentry-0.6.9) to get the following executables:
/usr/local/bin/pinentry-curses /usr/local/bin/pinentry-gtk /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt (The path may vary, of course.)
Now open the licq_gpg.conf and make a new entry in the "[gpg]" section: pinentry = /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
If you prefer pinentry-gtk, you may use it. When using the console plugin, use pinentry-curses.
The "passphrase" key in the "[gpg]" section is now ignored. The first time a passprase is required, the pinentry program is launched and asks for the passphrase.
Please try the patch and give me some feedback.
Apply the patch using "patch -p1" as described on http://richard.hirners.com/licq-gpg to licq 1.2.7 stable.
