Same issue here on Ubuntu 9.10 (x64). Trying to create a new pgp key as a normal user via seahorse does not even launch the new key dialogue box. I had to run "sudo seahorse" from the command line to get the dialogue box running but then it hung on the "Primegen" window. During several attempts the "Primegen" window crashes at random intervals.
Some bash output shown below from the session: s...@xps-laptop:~$ sudo seahorse ** Message: init gpgme version 1.1.8 WARNING: Unhandled message: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable, path=/, member=Introspect ** (seahorse:3636): WARNING **: couldn't get default keyring name: The gnome-keyring-daemon application is not running. ** (seahorse:3636): CRITICAL **: egg_datetime_set_clamp_date: assertion `minyear <= maxyear' failed ** Message: could not grab keyboard (gnome-help:3661): Yelp-WARNING **: Failed to load config file: No such file or directory ** (gnome-help:3661): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (gnome-help:3661): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed OMF category 'Applications|Other' not recognised, ignoring.
