I think all you need is to install a graphical version for the pin
entry program.
On my suse box the corresponding package is named "pinentry-gtk2"
$ ls-1 /usr/bin/pinentry*
/usr/bin/pinentry
/usr/bin/pinentry-curses
/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
You probably only have the first two installed.
Hope that helps,
Ingo
