Yup! automake 1.6.3 and autoconf 2.53.

Ok, I'll attach it to this message. I presume the list mail server doesn't automatically delete attachments. If you prefer that I send it to you privately let me know and this will be the last one I send to the list.

That's good, which tells me that my little changes (which I agree should have been `none at all') worked correctly.

In 0.4.3 you sort of `faked it' by calling "gpg --with-colons --list-sigs" and parsed the output. Sort of a kludge, eh?

I've got both those versions as well. I'm pretty much up to date. My gtk2 verion is 2.0.2-4 (for Redhat 7.3) if that helps at all. I'm not going to upgrade that unless I have to because too many other things may break.

Anyway, don't let these things distract you too much. I'll try and figure out what went wrong on my end.
