1. Install GnuPG 2.x, don't run gpg-agent
2. Open file.gpg, X or curses pinentry dialog pops up
The suggested workaround is to run gpg-agent.
Problems:
- on a headless server this can lock up Emacs
- if the GPG agent is dead, locked up, or not running, there's no remedy
- the X pinentry dialog is very non-specific ("Enter passphrase") so
there's no way to know what passphrase is being requested and why if
you don't have the specific instance in focus.
- there's no way to avoid the prompt in favor of an Emacs minibuffer query
In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.4)
