AFAIK, pintype is used only for DRC checking. Simulators and PCB
probably ignore it.
See the gEDA/gaf Master Attribute Document for possible values of pintype.

1. If you are editing a symbol that came with gschem/gEDA it;'s
probably in /usr/share/gEDA/... and is read only. After you edit, make
sure you use save-as and specify a directory you have write
permissions for (a convenient place is to make a subdirectory called
"symbols" next to the schematic you're working on.
2. You need to tell gschem where to look for custom symbols - do this
using a gafrc file (either global, per-user, or per-project). You need
to restart gschem for the new gafrc to take effect.
3. Reopen your main schematic, *delete* the old symbol and add the new
one you created.
