Just now I deinstalled pinentry-gtk2, and everything is OK within
seahorse... It is very weird. I don't test with other apps, just perform
some actions within seahorse like adding/deleting names from an existing
key. It seems that this possible issue with seahorse just emerges in a
fresh new install of Gnome?
