If I want to test the curses Pinentry I simply run DISPLAY= gpg ... and get the curses pinentry even when using an xterm (which is my usual environment). For example you could start mutt the same way DISPLAY= mutt and you get the curses. Drawback is that you won't get an image viewer either. Instead of using the envvar you could also invoke gpg like gpg --display=none .... which sets the display to none and pinentry will fallback to curses. Using "none" is not really correct but --display requires an option and does not like an empty string. It is also possible to write a pinentry which depends on the actual program invoking gpg: gpg-agent tells pinentry the pid of the process invoking gpg; e.g. OPTION owner=9798 wheatstone The current develppment version of Pinentry uses this info on Linux to to show the process name in the titlebar.
