Description Walther 2012-02-08 14:55:09 UTC
There is a bug in pwsafe which causes many applications to be unable to paste username/password combinations from it.

Functions like gtk_clipboard_wait_is_text_available return false, whereas directly calling gtk_clipboard_wait_for_text does succeed. Therefore this error manifests, for example, in all applications that use webkit-gtk 1.3.2 or later.

The error is in the reply that pwsafe creates after receiving a XA_TARGETS request. While solving this bug, I bumped into somebody else who already solved it, the patch that fixes this bug is hosted here:
http://ricky.fedorapeople.org/pwsafe/pwsafe-XChangeProperty.patch

Please include this patch in portage.

Reproducible: Always
