My problem is not the displaying on my own box (that's ok), but the
displaying in the directory of the keyserver. Let's put it in another
way: I'm "afraid" people won't find my key, because of the

thingie. Or should I assume that all other persons software download
my key automatically according to my fingerprint? I don't if the
keyservers are used "manually" as well.

To be short, I can assume that my name is correctly encoded in my key,
but the problems lies only with the keyservers?
