Maybe it's because version differences between our systems? I've
upgraded my system, now I have qt 4.8.1 and kdebase-lib 4.8.3,
recompiled pinentry-qt4 and the fix still works.

I just changed the call order to match with the confirm dialog call
order, as confirm dialog works properly.

Using "-g" also works for me.

I did one more test, I've got Fedora 16 (qt-4.8.1-5.fc16.x86_64
kdelibs-4.8.3-1.fc16.x86_64 pinentry-qt-0.8.1-4.fc16.x86_64) and
pinentry works there. I checked the patches which Fedora devs use to
compile pinentry but nothing special[1].

I thought why try to run pinentry-qt4 from Fedora on Arch (both systems
up to date so there's no much lib differences).
I copied pinentry-qt4 and one missing library (libtinfo.so.5), after
that I tried the test command[2]. After using it I got "*** No Windows
***" Window. So looks like the problem is not in pinentry-qt4 but in
some other libs (qt probably?).
