[Bug 1650989] [NEW] pinentry-gnome3 breaks gpg-agent

[James Hebden]

Public bug reported:

gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

strace -f -F of a gpg decrypt shows the following:
[pid 17851] read(6, "INQUIRE PINENTRY_LAUNCHED 17853\n", 1002) = 32
[pid 17851] write(6, "END", 3)          = 3
[pid 17851] write(6, "\n", 1)           = 1
[pid 17851] read(6, "ERR 83886179 Operation cancelled"..., 1002) = 44
[pid 17851] write(2, "gpg: decryption failed: No secre"..., 37gpg: decryption failed: No secret key) = 37

switching to pinentry-gtk-2 seems to fix this problem.
