Hi list! Recently - I don't know when exactly - anything which wanted to get access to my private gpg key (gpg itself, enigmail when signing or decrypting) simply froze when it would usually ask for the passphrase.
I tracked the problem down to seahorse. The app itself worked but apparently the helper app for other processes didn't. In any case, after unmerging seahorse, logout and login (to get rid of a defunct seahorse process which didn't react to kill -kill), everything started working again with the normal pinentry dialog. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
