I‘ve compiled and install an application called gpass on CentOS v5.6. But, when I run the application it does not accept any password from $HOME/.gpass and displays the following error on screen:

libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler ‘gpass_authentication_on_response’

How do I fix this problem and use the gpass software?

Q. I’m using Gnome under Ubuntu Linux and my numeric keypad is disabled. Pressing numlock key does not work any more. I’m not able to use numbers or special symbols from numeric keypad. Reboot does not help or using different keyboard does not help. However, numlock only works if I switch to text console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1. Now, I’m dam sure this is related to X.org or Gnome. How do I fix this problem?
