Robert,
I have copied over the .gnupg folder and contents (and removed the random_seed file), but when I go to the Account Settings on my laptop and click into OpenPGP Security I do not see the key from my desktop.
Is there some additional step needed to get Thunderbird to re-read that folder?
Also, under Enigmail Key Management the keys from the desktop do not show up.
Paul

On the desktop:
$ cd ~
$ tar cJf gnupg-backup.tar.xz .gnupg
Copy gnupg-backup.tar.xz to the new computer's homedir. On the new
computer:
$ cd ~
$ tar xJf gnupg-backup.tar.xz
$ rm -f .gnupg/random_seed
Bang, done. Quick and dirty but it should work.
