Bug Description

What I did was install a few different desktop environments:

Fluxbox
Gnome
IceWM
KDE
Openbox
xfce

All of a sudden the thunderbird GPG PIN dialog changed. After removing xfce, Openbox, IceWM & Fluxbox the pinentry window persists. I think the package that may be causing it is pinentry-gtk2 or pinentry-qt4 but since both of them install to the same location I'm not sure which one is to blame.
