Public bug reported:

In 15.04 and prior, when using enigmail to send signed email, it would
prompt for my passphrase.  Now it fails saying the passphrase is invalid
( without prompting )  This seems to be because we used to use gnome-
keyring with gpg support enabled, but gnome-keyring is run without gpg
enabled, and so gpg-agent is started, but without the required switches
to use pinentry to prompt for the passphrase, so it only works for
command line gpg, not gui apps like thunderbird/enigmail.
