Patch for call to gpg from gjots2

Description of problem:

If gjots2 is not attached to a terminal (i.e. started from the Gnome menu as opposed to a command shell), it is not possible to open a gpg encrypted file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.3.4-7.fc7.noarch

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a gpg encrypted file:

       ls -l | gpg --symmetric --output=foobar.gpg

2. Start gjots2 from the Gnome menu:

       Applications->Accessories->GJots2 Jotter

3. Select to open the "foobar.gpg" file.

4. Enter the password in the pop-up dialog.

Actual results:

The main window shows:

       gpg: cannot open `/dev/tty': No such device or address

Expected results:

The (decrypted) contents in the main window.

Additional info:

The bug is in the "file.py" (installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-package/gjots2) where gpg is called without "--batch" or "--no-tty" options.

I've attached a patch below that would solve this problem.
