[Bug 438622] [NEW] Seahorse gives conflicting information about ID photos

[David D Short]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

PGP specifies 120×144 as the maximum image resolution for ID photos,
whilst GPG recommends the usage of 240×288.  Seahorse, on the other
hand, tells you to make your JPEG 120×150!

I read this, and so went to GIMP to edit my photo.  However, Seahorse
still told me to make it 120×150, even though those were its exact
dimensions!  I eventually tried saving it at 20% JPEG quality, and
Seahorse accepted it.  It is clear that Seahorse was doing a filesize
check on the image, and wrongly claiming that image dimensions were the
problem.

I then tried a PNG version of the same photo.  It was accepted without
complaint.  However, when I looked, I realised that it had be
automatically converted (without telling me) into a low-quality JPEG.
Strangely, the dimensions of this JPEG were 192×192, for 7.6kB.  It
didn’t bring it down to the 120×150 it claimed it wanted.
