Displaying key fingerprints in the key widget (analogous to the
certificate widget) is a bit complicated. There's real consistent way
(between packages) to generate a fingerprint for a key.
This patch implements the semi-standard hash-of-subjectPublicKeyInfo in
order to get a consistent fingerprint. This has the benefit of matching
the key-fingerprint on a certificate and the corresponding key.
Here's the implementation of the fingerprinting, and the display in the
widget. Two related bugs:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646905
If anyone has time to look over the code, that's greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Stef
