Description Lars Noodén 2014-03-24 11:32:07 UTC 
PGP Keys -> (key) -> Properties -> Details -> Subkeys/Add -> type: RSA (sign only), key length: 2048

It does not seem to matter which key type or the size. Instead of adding the key, seahorse just stops responding. Eventually if I try to close the window, a dialog box pops up with this message:

   The window "..." does not seem to be
   responding. Do you want to force it to exit by
   sending the terminate signal?
   Cancel End Process

Waiting does not bring a response from seahorse, it seems gone, until a very long time has passed.

See bug #614576, could this be the same thing (hangs on lack of entropy)?
