OK, I've made it alittle further. I was able to generate the key
(multiple ones infact) export it in ASCII and now have it registered
with MIT's Keyserver however still cannot send any E-mails in Evolution
with my key. I get the error message that 

Could not create message.

Because "gpg: skipped `00000000': secret key not available
gpg: signing failed: secret key not available
", you may need to select different mail options.

(substituted the hex with 0's)

However everything is listing it. Secret Keys, MIT, OPP, and DPG (sorry
the acronyms got carried away). Is this something other people are
noticing with Evolution? I really like it and would like to start using
GPG however it's kinda bothersome now that I know how to do it not being
able to :-( of course it is Hoary so I'm not complaining just wondering
if I'm screwing it up or is it not me.
