Normally, everything went fine, I get the eky and it say that the key
is valid / invalid. Sometimes it says that the key is missing and I
have at the end of the message a big button to click to import the key.
At this moment, I can see that gpg is eating a lot of cpu and balsa is
not accessible anymore. I tried to lauch gpa at the same time. There is
then a popup tellin me to wait while gpg is rebuilding the trust
database with the mention that this may take few seconds ... In fact
this takes 10 to 20 _minutes_. When this popup disapear, I can access
gpa ... and balsa at the same time ...
