Basket note pads and encryption

[roseway]

Basket is a must-have program for me, but unfortunately I find the implementation in Pardus 2007.2 almost unusable because of a problem with encryption/decryption. For some reason I have to enter the password multiple times (10 or more times on occasion) before the action is accepted. This isn't because I'm typing it wrongly - I simply type the same thing repeatedly and eventually it works.

This problem seems to be associated with pinentry, and OpenSuse 10.3 has the same problem, so it's not specifically a Pardus problem. With other distros not using pinentry there is no problem with passwords in Basket.

Can anyone suggest a solution?
