[Bug 321287] Re: Seahorse will not generate a key

[Dominik]

I can confirm this problem, as mentioned in detail by Jimbo
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/321287/comments/11)

System:
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.9
2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Jun 30 19:57:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

* The error occurs only if you click the button "_Create" (with the
mouse). If you press Alt+C or focus this button and press Enter, the key
will be generated as normal (with expiration date 1970-01-01).

* Only the command line message 
------------
** (seahorse:26768): CRITICAL **: egg_datetime_get_as_time_t: assertion `EGG_IS_DATETIME (edt)' failed
** Message: could not grab keyboard
------------
seems to be interesting, because the other ones appears even if you don't uncheck "Never Expires".

* There's no date-time-field left to the "Never expires"-button as seen
here: http://media.ubuntuusers.de/wiki/attachments/34/28/seahorse-new-
pgp-key.png

* Surprisingly, after appearence of the error message "<big><b>Couldn't
generate PGP key</b></big>", the sorting order first PGP-key, second
SSH, has changed in SSH, PGP (at "Generate a new key"-window).

**************************************************
* Another bug maybe connected with this one:
at key properties-window > details: changing the expiration date at a date less or equal the current date will result in the message:
-----------------
<big><b>Couldn't change expiry date</b></big>

General error
----------------

Command line messages, first before closing the error message window
---------------
** (seahorse:29571): CRITICAL **: file seahorse-pgp-key-op.c: line 1024 (edit_expire_transit): should not be reached
---------------
and after closing
---------------
(seahorse:29571): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_group_remove_window: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW_GROUP (window_group)' failed
---------------
