Description:
Hi!

I just set up encryption within kmail and it works like a charm. However, I think the pinentry dialog doesn't behave as I should:

1. I use the oxygen style in my workspace, but the dialog appears to be in motif style ( see screenshot on http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ve5hs3&s=8#.U2p3KnVfP0o )

2. The dialog grabs my keyboard, whenever it is opened I can only use the keyboard for this dialog.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup encryption in kmail
2. Send a email
3. The dialog opens, but not in the same style as the rest of my desktop


Suggestion for solving the issue:
My solution for this is creating a symlink from /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/styles -> /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/styles
By doing so pinentry-qt4 works as expected.

As /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so is owned by kdebase-workspace, the latter should create this symlink
This task depends upon

I do have set this environment variable. All other applications seem to use it too. Only when using encryption within kmail and pinentry-qt4 pops up for my key I am experiencing this behaviour. Also, I am using kwin as my window manager.

Is this symlink not wanted for some reason as default?

I confirm the same behavior in Kmail, with Kwallet (GPG backend) and in Kleopatra.

QT_PLUGIN_PATH looks right as
"/home/arthur/.kde4/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib/plugins/"
without me setting that on purpose.

Only manually symlinking the styles directory makes it look nice.

Could you please check whether pinentry-0.9.6-2 from [testing] still has your issue? If it does, please report it upstream.
Otherwise, could you suggest a way to fix it in our package? I am really not sure this qualifies as a packaging bug.
