Thanks for the updated release, Werner!

I noticed a couple things from a brief review of 0.9.5:

keyserver helpers and gpg 2.1
-----------------------------

GPA's configure.ac suggests that gpgkeys_ldap needs to exist.  But in
the gpg 2.1 branch, the keys helpers have all be removed in favor of
dirmngr.  Is gpa supposed to be compatible with the 2.1 branch of gpg?


misbehavior when no gpg-agent is available
------------------------------------------

As reported here:

https://bugs.debian.org/760237#203

if no gpg-agent is available, i see the following two dialogs from a new
account:

I guess GPA should probably detect the absence of an agent, and either
warn the user of its absence or start one up automatically.
