Bug Description
When Bazaar Explorer is ran from a menu launcher (bzr explorer) it always fails to allow gpg to sign commits. However if I run bzr explorer from a terminal window it pops up a pinentry window as expected which allows me to input my password and then sign the commit.
I am running Kubuntu 9.10 and Bazaar Explorer 1.0.0 along with QBzr 0.18.1, bzrlib 2.0.2, PyQt 4.7 and Python 2.6.4. I have tested with both gpg and gpg2. I would be happy to provide any further information required to fix this.
I also run kubuntu 9.10 and have experienced similar behaviour of bzr Explorer. However, rightly or wrongly, I have attributed that to the possible glitch in KDE 4.x.
My workaround is to simply use CLI and bzr without Explorer. This workaround is similar to yours.
