Hello Ingo,

that default somehow does not seem to be set as it should be.

I have just rebuilt 2.5.5 with:
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode  --prefix=/tmp/GNUPG/usr --sysconfdir=/tmp/GNUPG/etc --localstatedir=/tmp/GNUPG/var  --runstatedir=/tmp/GNUPG/run  --disable-gpgtar --disable-bzip2 && make -j5 && make install

testit at argenau:~$ /tmp/GNUPG/usr/bin/gpgconf  --list-options gpg-agent | grep grab
grab:8:2:let PIN-Entry grab keyboard and mouse:0:0::::

The respective test user has no ~/.gnupg/ and /tmp/GNUPG/etc does not
even exist.
