This bug still persist in Jaunty when using Thunderbird + Enigmail + gpg
--use-agent.

It can be also experienced when you try to change passphrase of already
created PGP key within Seahorse.

Synopsis:
0) Launch Seahorse
1) Right-click on your PGP key -> Properties
2) Change Passphrase
3) Passphrase dialog is displayed, however, keyboard input does not work
4) Click Cancel
5) Another Passphrase dialog is displayed (a different one, something like retry dialog), keyboard input works

Quickfix for Thunderbird + Enigmail

As written by Micah Cowan, you have to launch Thunderbird with
GPG_AGENT_INFO variable unset. If it still does not work, uncheck "Never
ask for any passphrase" in OpenPGP preferences in Thunderbird.
