Title:
  pinentry doesn't show passphrase window (fresh Ubuntu 19.10)

Status in pinentry package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Running the app causes the shell (or other caller) to block without
  showing the password window. I encountered this while trying to
  decrypt a file using gpg. I've worked around by switching gpg-agent to
  pinentry-curses.

  Ubuntu: 19.10
  pinentry-gnome3: 1.1.0-3
  gpg: 2.2.12-1ubuntu3

  I expected pinentry to show a window when launched by "gpg". I think
  the problem is unrelated to "gpg" because running "pinentry" manually
  causes the same behavior (infinite wait, no window).
