Title:
  pinentry-gtk2 does not register keys while scim-bridge is running

Status in pinentry package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in pinentry package in Debian:
  Fix Released
Status in pinentry package in openSUSE:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pinentry-gtk2

  Versions
  =====

  I'm running a current installation of Gutsy Gibbon (by "current" I
  mean all packages are at the latest published version).

  pinentry-gtk2 is at version 0.7.3-1ubuntu2

  How to reproduce
  ==========

  Your input method configuration must be set to scim-pinyin.  Then, try
  to perform any operation that requires a gpg key.  (I've gotten the
  problem while trying to sign a binary file and also while running
  dpkg-buildpackage).  pinentry-gtk-2 will come up but it won't register
  any keystrokes.

  If I tell gpg not to use an agent, I can enter my password to the
  terminal prompt without any problem.

  Here is how my input method configuration is set up:

  $ im-switch -l
  Your input method setup under en_US locale as below.
  =======================================================
  The configuration "/home/ldd/.xinput.d/en_US" is defined as a link pointing to
  scim-pinyin
  This private configuration supersedes the system wide default.
  =======================================================
  The system wide default is pointed by "/etc/alternatives/xinput-all_ALL" .
  xinput-all_ALL - status is auto.
   link currently points to default
  default - priority 10
  none - priority 0
  scim - priority 0
  scim-immodule - priority 0
  Current `best' version is default.
  =======================================================
  The available input method configuration files are:
  default none scim scim-chewing scim-immodule scim-pinyin scim_xim th-xim 
  =======================================================
