Title:
  unable to unlock screen because keyboard grabbed by gcr-prompter (gpg
  password prompt)

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
