Having it would be great. Is there any chance to have it in gnupg 1.2? If
you are going to implement it soon, I might as well wait for it before
beginning work on the filemanager.

Meanwhile, I have a lot of ideas for improving the keyring editor, and make
the interface more consistent (you may have noticed I'm trying to use stock
gtk dialogs and buttons everywhere). I would also like to provide detailed
feedback on the result of imports, for example.

Also, is there any chance to get an interface to keyserver access from
gpgme? I know there is supposed to be a way to get remote key listings
(although I can't get it to work), but there is no support for --recv-key or
--send-key. Wouldn't it be a waste to have to reimplement it for GPA?

Thanks,
