           Summary: pinentry-qt dialog does not handle dead keys correctly
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: mmtsales@xxxxxxxxx

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.9.0.6)

When using gpg, kgpg or kleopatra do decrypt a file, they use pinentry-qt to
ask the user for the passphrase. It is impossible to enter the passphrase
correctly if it has accented characters in it, because pinentry-qt dialogs do
not handle dead keys correctly. For example, if I type "á", it gets "'a" (two
asterisks are shown instead of just one).
The same problem occurs when I try to change the password (pinentry-qt is used
here too). As a result, I can't decrypt my files because of the accented
characters in my private key's passphrase and I can't change the passphrase
either.
The files were encrypted using Kgpg in Fedora, this problem did not exist
there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Kgpg
2. Try to change the passphrase of a private key of yours by another with
accented characters in it

Actual Results:  
Asterisks are shown immediately after a dead key is pressed.

Expected Results:  
An asterisk should be shown only when the next key is pressed after the dead
key.
