Hi,

good hint.
I tried seahorse and gpa, both use gpgme.
I started the software and tried to change the owner trust, then I
closed it.

I found the following, with gpa (first checked, seahorse to come).
The first 177 lines of the log file are just generated at startup,
and are, so far can I see, the same in both cases (bash or menu).
After that something else come and, for the bash version, I see:

   229  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r4 ]
   230  posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r4 ]
   231  posix-io.c:82: fd 4: about to read 1024 bytes
   232  posix-io.c:89: fd 4: got 33 bytes
   233  fd 4: got `[GNUPG:] GET_LINE keyedit.prompt
   234  '
   235  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]

while for the menu version:

   229  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r4 ]
   230  posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r4 ]
   231  posix-io.c:82: fd 4: about to read 1024 bytes
   232  posix-io.c:89: fd 4: got 0 bytes
   233  posix-io.c:145: closing fd 4
   234  wait.c:160: setting fd 4 (item=0x82ae2a0) done
   235  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]

Later, bash:

   245  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ w8 ]
   246  posix-io.c:378: select OK [ w8 ]
   247  wait.c:160: setting fd 8 (item=0x823b128) done
   248  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r4 ]
   249  posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r4 ]
   250  posix-io.c:82: fd 4: about to read 1024 bytes
   251  posix-io.c:89: fd 4: got 56 bytes
   252  fd 4: got `[GNUPG:] GOT_IT
   253  [GNUPG:] GET_LINE edit_ownertrust.value
   254  '
   255  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]
   256  posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r9 ]

and menu:

   245  posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]
   246  posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r9 ]
   247  posix-io.c:82: fd 9: about to read 4096 bytes
   248  posix-io.c:89: fd 9: got 0 bytes
   249  posix-io.c:145: closing fd 9
   250  wait.c:160: setting fd 9 (item=0x82aec08) done
   251  posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 4
   252  posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 5
   253  posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 7
   254  posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 9
   255  posix-io.c:145: closing fd 5
   256  posix-io.c:145: closing fd 9

This "about to read" goes on in the same way for an other couple of
times, basically the bash version can read, while the menu version
it seems it cannot.
Also, lines 245-246 use "[ w8 ]" on bash and "[ r9 ]" on menu, does
anybody knows what these are?

Other hints and/or suggestions?
Or some other things to look into the log files?

Thanks,

bye,
