We must take care to not hurt power users and also novice users.
Yes, switching off is a good idea. Perhaps we should set up
two profiles, one for power users and one for the newbees.

My idea is that a menu will do the job. If the key management
matures to a tool of its own, the menu is required anyway.

Good. We can also ask tigert, but he will not be able to create
them for the LinuxTag already.

We can take icons from other tools, but to mymind neither the ones
of geheimnis nor the ones of seahorse are really adequate.
