the hex strip is always availlable.

thank you, ill like to see it in kgpg and enigmail, etc, too, but we
need it at least for dev test of such apps in the secure core (the 3rd).
or you have to show me how to high secure pipes and message loops, etc ;)

im working on a demo patch, buts its very hard for me that i cant use
