/usrbin/pinrentry is a script. Therein is code to detect what desktop you are using. If it is looking for KDE4 and you are using KDE5 then you have a problem. See line 47. Change that 4 to 5 I see XFCE is not listed, either. I see a pin-entry window when I type the passphrase, but I didn't pay much attention. I'll see next time.
This can also byte you if you do a minimal X install and then install Tbird/enigmail. In this case there is no pinentry dependency for Tbird/enigmail and when you attempt to reply to a signed e-mail, you lock one core at 100% - until you kill Tbird. I have worked around it by just hunting down the right pinentry (generally pinentry-gtk2), but this is a problem that should be fixed going forward. I know it has been around since at least 13.1. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
