to be clear, keep-display means that all requests made to the agent that
require interaction with X11 will show up on the original display that
the agent was started with.  This isn't desirable in all cases
(e.g. where an agent is shared across multiple X11 displays)

i think you're saying that "pinentry-qt --display :124" doesn't honor
the "--display :124" argument, but that doesn't seem to be true to me
with pinentry 1.1.0:

    0 dkg at alice:~$ pinentry-qt --display :124
    qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :124
    Could not connect to any X display.
    1 dkg at alice:~$ 

or do you mean something else?

   --dkg
