Pinentry hangs for ~30s before asking for passphrase when invoked by Enigmail

[Rüdiger Kupper]

I have the same problem that another user has already reported in the Debian bug tracker:
When encrypting/decrypting mails with the enigmail plugin to thunderbird, it takes ~30 seconds until the pinentry dialog gets displayed.
This is with pinentry-gnome3. Enigmail does not work at all with pinentry-gtk2.
