Pinentry doesn't wait for input

[maxzda]

Binary package hint: pinentry-gtk2

I have a problem with pinentry.

Today I installed Ubuntu 9.10 alpha 6. I tried to encrypt some files in nautilus, but pinentry didn't wait for my input. That means it was a windows open, where I should enter my pass phrase. One second later that windows was closed and another one from pinentry was there. There stands, that I typed an incorrect pass phrase and I should try again. And again second later this windows disappeared and come again saying that I typed in incorrect pass phrase. Second later this windows did disappeared too and I received an error message from Nautilus, that it couldn't encrypt given file.

I tried to send an signed email from Evolution and have had the very same problem.

I don't now if this is error in pinentry-gtk2 or in my config. I use Ubuntu Karmic Koala Netbook Remix with latest updates on Acer Aspire One A150L.

I just removed pinentry-gtk2 and installed pinentry-qt and it works just fine.

It looks not as good as all gtk apps in gnome, but it works ;)

I've got this exact issue on a netbook. I don't have this issue on the old laptop (same package version.)

I'm guessing this is due to the different window manager setup, or due to an X race condition based on the driver.

pinentry-qt works. Other GTK apps work.
