Hello

Finally I decided to generate a new 4096 keypair.

Now gpg --list-keys tells me I have 

sec   1024R/93B61FDD 1998-09-17
uid                  Uwe Brauer <oub at mat.ucm.es>
uid                  Uwe Brauer <oub at btmpx1.mat.uni-bayreuth.de>
uid                  Uwe Brauer <oub.oub.oub at gmail.com>
uid                  Uwe Brauer <oub.oub.oub at gmail.com>

sec   4096R/65AD077A 2014-01-28
uid                  Uwe Brauer (Second Key) <oub at mat.ucm.es>
ssb   4096R/F7D25222 2014-01-28

So I want to use the new key as default (For Xemacs and maybe this is an
addional problem)

So I added to the files in .gnupg



    -   gpg.conf: default-key 65AD077A

    -  options: default-key 65AD077A


(I even rebooted to restart the gpg-agent).
But xemacs, gnus, epg always picks up the old key. I will write to that
list as well, but would like to know if there is anything wrong in my
setting.




thanks
