I wasn't suggesting that you change your passphrase. Recently I
had submitted a patch to pgg to use call-process-region, instead
of start-process (this gets rid of the blinking). That has had
unintended consequences as you have just found out.

The attached patch might fix this problem. I am not sure if it
does.

I have no ideas about this one.
