Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seahorse
Since upgrading to Hardy Heron, I ran into problems with the Passphrase
dialog when using Enigmail with Thunderbird. It'll plug along fine, not
grabbing focus, but accepting input. But then, at some point, I'll hit
"send" on a message, the passphrase dialog will come up, and it won't
accept input. Even if I click to give it focus, it still won't accept
input. Characters don't show in the text box, and typing return won't
confirm/close the dialog. Strangely, hitting Escape _will_ close the
dialog.
Once this starts happening, it seems to keep happening. Logging out/in,
even restarting (IIRC) don't fix the problem. It took me a while to
figure out that Enigmail was delegating the passphrase stuff to a gpg-
agent, and wrapping thunderbird with a script that unsets GPG_AGENT_INFO
did the trick (so that it doesn't call out to seahorse).
Once I experienced the problem and tracked it to seahorse, I also tried
gpg directly from the commandline with --use-agent, and see the same
symptoms.
