Exporting (and importing) of keys is a bit confusing. It's not clear whether I'm exporting just the public part of the key or both parts. This leads to confusion and hesistation.

I think people get so confused by the whole asymettric encryption thing that we need to give them more explicit clues. I'd like to see the menu items and dialogs explicitly mention what's private and public. Also they might sometimes mention _why_ they might want to do something.

For instance, the dialog might say "Export your public key so you can provide it to someone so that they can send encrypted documents to you, and so they can authenticate documents or messages from you" or similar, ideally clearer.
