Sorry about that :-)

But, if you have any ideas, they are welcome.

Thanks, but it still needs a lot of work. Specially there are a lot of UI
tweaks I'd like to do.

Wow, that looks like too many changes. For me it works out of the box, and I
think it should for you too :-) All your problems sound like
autoconf/automake not working properly. I think our autogen.sh requires
automake 1.6, are you using it?

If you are, I would be interested it the output you get from autogen.sh.

Yes, that's a known "bug". Gpgme (the library) does not support key
signatures at this moment, so we can't use them in GPA. However, that's
being worked on right now, and I'll add it to GPA again as soon as possible.

Just that. Having gpgme 0.3.12 and gnupg 1.2.1 is highly recommended, and
may be needed for some features (for example, deleting keys did not work in
gnupg < 1.2).
