Pinentry problem with different home dir

[Falko Strenzke]

Hi Ingo,

actually I could solve the problem now by placing the gpg-agent.conf 
with the specification of the pinentry program into the folder I specify 
as GNUPGHOME. I still don't understand why this is necessary, as my 
normal home directory doesn't contain this file. But it is working for 
me now.
