Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seahorse
Steps to reproduce:
* Create a new clean virtual machine with Lucid
* Try to generate a PGP key using gpg --gen-key. You will receive the following
error:
Not enough random bytes available. Please do some other work to give
the OS a chance to collect more entropy! (Need 300 more bytes)
* But, if you try to do the same with Seahorse, instead of showing the
error to the users, it just hangs with the dialog "Generating key"
