I understand what Simon was suggesting now.  This would not impact
trust - it's saying "this is who the key claims to be owned by", just
like printing the username when a sig is checked.

Yes.  The photo ID code in 1.0.7 was never really intended to work on
Windows.  You can sort of manipulate it into working with careful
choice of photo-viewers, which is nice.  1.2 (or the 1.1.90 devel
snapshot) has complete Win32 support for photo IDs.
