Well, that also matters ;-)
When you su to a user, no, you will not get a window prompting for the passphrase, because the desktop doesn't belong to that user. The gpg agent (which depends on the desktop and configuration used) does not act, it has not been started for the su-ed user.
You should get the prompt for the user passphrase in the same terminal.
I didn't though. If I had I would have been happy. It did not prompt me at all, it just caused an error. It works on the console though, where there is no DOE.
Go into ~/.gnupg/ and disable the agent. File gpg.cong, comment out line "use-agent".
p.s. I have just discovered that quite a large proportion of this list has been going into my spam folder. :(
