Personally, I think the confusion is not too big.

I hate tabs. I hate tabs. I hate tabs. :-)

Would a windows registry editor-style ui be too complex? have the list
of uids on the left and the list of signatures on the right?

While a way to see the uid the signature belongs to MUST be available,
I'd sure use this mode - in most cases, people sign all uids anyway, so
this list would just provide what most people are interested in.=20

I use gpa for keyring and trust maintenance only. So, for me, a good
thing to have available in the list of signatures is a way to see how
the trust is calculated. Add a column and show the trust values of each
signing key? Or use colors?

Just my $.02
