failure to display pinentry in floating mode

[bendlas]

Since the latest release (pinentry 1.0.0), when gpg-agent tries to open pinentry to get a password, the pinentry window just flashes, but returns an Operation Cancelled to gpg-agent and there appears a message in the syslog:

emacs-25.2[27257]: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called on a window with no visible children; the window should be set up before gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called.

Different WMs, including stumpwm and gnome3 don't have this problem. Also, (setq exwm-manage-force-tiling t) solves the problem, but then shows pinentry in tiling mode.

I believe pinentry 1.0.0 has been released for a long time. Which version did you use before this one? And which flavor (gnome3 or gtk2)? There is also a tty flavor that I think works better with Emacs.

The log message is similar to that in #263. Could you try the test in #263 (comment) ?

Till recently, I was using some 0.9.9 version. I'm using the gtk2 version. The problem seems to be the same, indeed:

% echo GETPIN | pinentry-gtk-2
OK Pleased to meet you

** (pinentry-gtk-2:32051): CRITICAL **: could not grab keyboard: not viewable (3)

I'll try the debian patches and will incorporate them into NixOS, if working.
Thanks!
