Why is kleopatra using pinentry-gtk2 and why doesn't it work for me?

	Hi,

today I wanted to import a new x.509 cert into kleopatra and it didn't show 
the pinentry dialog. pinentry-gtk2 was launched and was using 100% CPU but it 
didn't do anything useful. Just for fun I removed pinentry-gtk2, but then 
kleopatra immediately complained that it was unable to decrypt the cert. 

I checked kwatchgnupg and the logs showed a little hint to the problem. 

gpg-agent[2117.7] DBG: <- GET_PASSPHRASE --data --repeat=0 -- X X Passphrase: 
Please+enter+the+passphrase+to+unprotect+the+PKCS#12+object.
gpg-agent[2117]: starting a new PIN Entry
gpg-agent[2117]: can't connect server: ec=4.16383
gpgsm[8945]: gpg-protect-tool: error while asking for the passphrase: No 
pinentry
gpgsm[8945]: error running `/usr/libexec/gpg-protect-tool': exit status 2
gpgsm[8945]: total number processed: 0
gpg-agent[2117]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: End of file
gpg-agent[2117]: command get_passphrase failed: No pinentry
gpg-agent[2117.7] DBG: -> ERR 67108949 No pinentry <GPG Agent>
gpgsm[8945.0] DBG: -> S IMPORT_RES 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
gpgsm[8945.0] DBG: -> ERR 50331800 Decryption failed <GpgSM>

Looks to me like /usr/libexec/gpg-protect-tool is just choosing the wrong 
pinentry executable. It should just call /usr/bin/pinentry which should call 
the correct pinentry-qt4/gtk2/whatever. 

With pinentry-gtk2 removed, I started pinentry and it called pinentry-qt4.

So there are two problems:

a) why does pinentry-gtk2 get stuck?
b) why isn't pinentry-qt4 called by gpg-protect-tool?

Is this working for anyone with kde 4.3.90?

	Cheers,

		Andreas
