This definitely sounds frustrating, hopefully we can get this sorted
out. you don't describe your ssh authentication scheme in much detail
here, so i don't know how to help you diagnose it better.

Many people have been using pinentry-gnome3 without a problem, so it's
clearly not absolutely unusable. I'm moving this bug report to
"important" to reflect this.

Thanks for the suggestion, i think you're right, and i'm merging the
bugs here.

This is already happening, fwiw. updatestartuptty sends all of the
relevant bits of the environment that might be needed by pinentry,
including GTK_IM_MODULE and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.
I'll have pinentry-gnome3 Recommend: dbus-user-session in the next
release to encourage people to use a single D-bus session for any given
authenticated user.
