Initial Comment:
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

When pinentry is called to accept GPG passphrase from Claws-Mail, the executable initiates in Task Manager, but the actual GUI window for user interaction does not appear onscreen or in the task switcher (Alt-Tab).

The Claws-Mail application and open Compose window eventually are set to "Not Responding" status by Windows 7.

When the Claws-Mail is forcibly closed, Pinentry appears onscreen and accepts passphrase input.

If the Claws-Mail is restarted and the message requiring Pinentry is sent within approximately 1 minute of passphrase input, it is accepted for transmit.

Else, it begins the cycle again.

Pinentry with GTK behaves normally and "pops" to the foreground when called by Claws-Mail (GPG-Lite).
