Now that I think about it...maybe it would be best if we kept trying to
grab keyboard every X ms until we get it? Meanwhile if pinentry is
configured to use global grab and we don't have it yet, display BIG RED
WARNING. pinentry is not long running application so this should not
have that significant impact on performance...what do you think?
