on wed NUMBER sep NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER NUMBER pdt brent welch said hacksaw said when i receive a gpg encrypted message and it asks me for a passphrase it first tries to ask me via the tty under which exmh is running it tells hmm i ve seen the opposite issue if i go to send a signed message sometimes exmh will put up the dialog box but fail to set keyboard focus there so no passphrase can be entered of course hitting return doesnt work so you need to click the ok box at which point it finds that the passphrase that wasn t entered doesn t work and asks again this time with proper focus set i suspect some variable codepath is getting hosed for the focus or possibly some borkedness with no tty and or status fd flags to gnupg valdis
