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?
