Done. If you run gpg with -v you now get this: gpg: pinentry launched (pid 23496, flavor gtk2, version 0.9.8-beta32) and if the curses fallback is used gpg: pinentry launched (pid 26376, flavor gtk2:curses, version 0.9.8-beta32) For the currently release pinentries, the flavor will showup as "unknown". This also changes the PINENTRY_LAUNCHED status callback and I hope that this does not break anything. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Ausnahmen regelt ein Bundesgesetz.
