Since version 0.6.0, x11-misc/basket has the capability of enabling locking of individual baskets (according to their changelog). Unfortunately, it seems the current builds under gentoo do not support this locking, or the resulting unlocking. Or more specifically, the current builds under gentoo immediately give you "GPGME: Bad passphrase" in a dialog box when you try to lock/unlock any basket. Steps to Reproduce: 1) USE="crypt" emerge basket 2) Start basket 3) right-click on one of the default baskets (or create a new one first, then right-click), and select "Password..." 4) in the Dialog box that pops up, select the radio button for "Protect basket with a password", and click OK. 5) Enjoy the "GPGME: Bad passphrase" popup window. output of emerge --info: emerge --info Portage 2.3.6-r5

Upon further investigation (running the app via konsole/yakuake), it appears that the GPGME dialog is appearing in the terminal: ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Enter passphrase │ │ │ │ │ │ Passphrase ***************************************_ │ │ │ │ <OK> <Cancel> │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ but fills with characters, and then makes the terminal unusable. This makes basket freeze, but does not bring up the "GPGME: Bad passphrase" before freezing.
According to htop, my CPU spikes when this happens, and the culprit is pinentry --display :0 'USE="qt4" emerge app-crypt/pinentry' was attempted, but pinentry seems to still be using the ncurses interface. Kleopatra is exhibiting an inability to create GPG keys, so this seems to be basket exhibiting symptoms of a larger issue.
Okay, I think I have resolved the issue on my computer. changed the /usr/bin/pinentry symbolic link to point to pinentry-qt4 rather than pinentry-ncurses. basket and kleopatra are now confirmed working.
I don't think there's a way for us to control the pinentry client, so maybe we could add a message to the ebuild advising that pinentry-qt4 is required to be active?

We have an eselect module to assist you with this, for example: eselect pinentry set pinentry-curses
Could you confirm whether the pinentry-ncurses dialog issue only happens for basket? I've had problems with pinentry-ncurses in the past myself, so this may be a bug there rather than with basket.
