Seahorse should allow searching by key ID

[®om]

Binary package hint: seahorse

Seahorse can't add a key from keyservers only by giving the key ID, while it works fine in command line :
gpg --recv-keys KEY_ID

I use Ubuntu 8.10, seahorse 2.24.1.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

Seb, I'm not sure this actually is a duplicate of that, because that bug
was fixed in Hardy.

Rom:
Seahorse requires that you search for a person, select their key, and
then import. It does not allow you to search by key id. Did you file
this to request that search-by-key-id be added?

[®om (rom1v)]

Yes, I request search-by-key-id :)
