Bug Description
Binary package hint: pinentry-qt4
I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 and when I try to read an encrypted email in Kmail, I get an error that says that the password is wrong, although there was no password prompt.
I thought that pinentry-qt was missing, but actually pinentry-qt4 was installed.
A workaround is to install pinentry-qt (not pinentry-qt4).

Version: 1.13.5 (using Devel)
OS: Linux
When trying to send a message marked for signing, the pinentry dialog box flickers very quickly for a few seconds (so quickly so that I can only see its title) and then I get a dialog "Signing failed: Bad passphrase". If I try pinentry on the command line it works (I just give it the command GETPIN).
(I am not sure that I really use SVN or Snapshot Version. KDE reports itself as having version 4.4.5 and I have picked it up from kubuntu-ppa.)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new mail and click Sign.
2. Send mail.
Actual Results:
Pinentry dialog box flickers back and forth between visibility and invisibility for a few seconds.
Expected Results:
Dialog should show so that I can input password of GPG key.
