Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

Seahorse seems to crash while trying to fetch a lot of unknown keys from the server.

Try for yourself:
- Get the key from https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/DeliverSigningKey.event?rep=4
- import it into seahorse
- check it's properties
- uncheck "only show trusted signees"

There should be some kind of messagebox saying "fetching keys - please wait" or even more detailled "fetching unknown key 0x12345678..." with the opportunity to cancel the process.

Best practice would be to have a thread forked checking the keys in the background and updating the key datagrid.

Severity is low / wishlist.
