A window will flash by very quickly.

As discussed w/ K_F, this should block 1.0.0 from going stable.

Could Debian patches be applied to try to unblock this?

gnupg defaults to no-grab in later versions, so this issue isn't valid once that reaches stable (iirc it was changed in 2.1.23, so fixed in 2.2.0 as well)
