While noone else has actually send anything in ( :( ), I got a reply from upstream, which made me play around with settings. Didn't help much, but one sentence mentioned brokenness in the pinentry-gnome part. Also, I was using pinentry-gtk2 all the time, so that shouldn't hit, but well, change it, worth a try. And voila, I put pinentry-qt onto my system and update-alternative-d it to be the one in use - and since then (2 days by now!), I did not have the mentioned problems anymore. Both, -gtk2 and -qt have the same version number and appear to be from same source, but qt works for me, gtk2 not. -- bye, Joerg
