Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

After selecting "new" (from the file menu, in "passwords and encryption keys") and choosing "secure shell key" a dialogue box was opened with 3 options: "just create key" "cancel" and "create and set up". When I chose the "just create key" option, the help for creating keys was opened, but the dialogue box remained, and clicking again simply opened another help window. Neither the cancel nor create and set up options appeared to do anything. I was able to close the dialogue by clicking the 'x' to close the window. I then tried again (without closing seahorse) and went to "new" and chose ssh key. This time, however, the dialogue box was completely empty, and very small, as well as having no window buttons. I was able to close it via alt+F4. Further attempts yielded the same result. After closing and opening a new instance of the program, I tried again, and experience the first behavior described. Further without restarting the program likewise produced the second behavior (the empty dialogue box).

This appears to be more failure from the conversion to gtkbuilder to replace libglade. Also of note is that clicking "help" in the "New PGP Key" dialog, results in 2 help browsers being launched.

I've set this to High for now, as I'm unsure what the policy is. I believe it should be considered Critical though, as it's a significant regression.
