Sorry for the dupe, Marcus - forgot to send to list the first time.

Hi Marcus,
Sorry for the delay - I've unfortunately been short on time lately.
Starting gpg-agent with the --no-grab option has no effect.
This is quite annoying for users who need alternate input methods,
especially scim. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but here's
how it appears to me:
1. Pinentry is a GTK+ app.
2. GTK+ apps can use GTK+ input methods.
3. Rather than using an input method, pinentry grabs the raw input.
I understand that there are perhaps security concerns with not
grabbing raw input, but surely there's a way to fix this?
pinentry-qt handles this just fine, btw...
