There is a GUI utility in the repos called gui-apt-key that works, but
has some issues
(e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gui-apt-key/+bug/282185)

I can only seem  to get it working properly from Terminal with sudo...
and then not all of the time.  Definitely a package that needs some
TLC.
