It complains to me when the recipient key is not found and asks me to
change send options.

It picks recipient key based on the email address. I've not much idea
what it does when you've more than one key for a person, though it
definitely doesn't ask you to pick one.

I'm wondering whether such integration might fix all the above or not.
Did you try to set 'use-agent' in your: ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
If I recall correctly it uses something from seahorse. But I might be
wrong here.

Oh, and thanks for all the pointers to bugzilla. It really seems to be a
