Bug#754431: seahorse: fails silently when attempting to add pgp key

[Andrew Kane]

Package: seahorse
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
I attempted to use Seahorse to generate a new PGP key in the following way:

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
In Seahorse window:
        1) Selected "GnuPG Keys" under "PGP Keys"
        2) Clicked "+" icon at upper left
        3) Selected "PGP Key" from list; clicked "Continue"
        4) Entered key details: full name, email address; Comment field empty;
Key type: RSA; Key strength: 4096 bits; Expiry date: two years hence; clicked
"Create"
        5) Entered passphrase twice: in "Password" and in "Confirm" fields
        6) When "OK" button un-grayed, clicked "OK"

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Passphrase dialog disappeared. No other change observed.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Expected new GnuPG key to appear in list.
