Yep, and it turns out to be a VERY old problem indeed (still reading up on it). It's from at least 2007 or most likely even 2006! http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.devel/14423 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330073 The people at Novell came to the conclusion that the problem needs to be fixed in upstream pinentry-gtk-2. Unfortunately the reference link is 404 now and even web.archive.org does not have a backup copy of it. > I note that setting the GTK_IM_MODULE environment might not be relevant > for pinentry-qt4 at all, because qt4 probably doesn't inspect the GTK_* > environment variables. My bad. Obviously, that should read QT_IM_MODULE which I have set to scim as default. It still is the (known) case that pinentry-qt4 works. This provides a good workaround for anyone affected by this issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
