Public bug reported:

On Trusty, last night I left my computer with thunderbird running and
the screen locked (good). I configure gpg to only cache my passphrase
for a few minutes instead of remembering it for the whole session. When
I came back to unlock the screen, the password dialog would not accept
keyboard input until I pressed 'Enter', and then I could type in my
password to unlock the screen. When I then unlocked the screen, I
noticed that thunderbird was prompting for me to enter my gpg
passphrase. What appeared to happen was the screen locked and then
sometime later thunderbird received an encrypted email and prompted me
for my gpg passphrase. I would expect for the screenlock to always
accept my keyboard input and only after would the gpg passphrase dialog
accept input.

Here are the related processes that are running when I am being prompted:

(gcr-prompter is from the 'gcr' package whose description says 'GNOME
crypto services (daemon and tools)'. I'm not sure if this is a duplicate
of another bug but I filed this one to be sure.
