This is concerning pinentry 0.7.1. For some reason, the output of pinentry-foo --help goes to stderr, not stdout. This is inconsistent with just about every other program out there. (Try ls, gpg.) If you think about it, if I request help, printing the help information is not an error. Also, I sometimes get this, but only with the Qt version: $ pinentry-qt --version/--help Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [real information follows...] I think it should be possible to get clean help output without having a properly(?) configured X, so maybe the initialization of the Xlib stuff can be moved somewhere after the help handling code. Thanks.
