I don't think everyone knows that, certainly not the first time they do it.
I think people would start out thinking "I want to encrypt this". The
software might then tell them that they need a key.

OK, so seahorse is more about keys than encryption, but I would hope that
new GNOME modules help people to achieve fairly specific tasks. At the
least, I wouldn't like to add an encyrption/signature key manager until some
general encrypt-this/decrypt-this (likewise for signing) feature was there.
