shared-mime-info :
the version installed on Ubuntu 7.10 is version 0.22
(according to synaptic)
which is the last version according to
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/shared-mime-info

update-mime-database :
I did not make a :
$ sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
supposing that Ubuntu cares regularly about this.

however I had an interesting look at the file /usr/share/mime/globs
automatically updated by update-mime-database

I found the very interesting lines :
application/pgp-encrypted:*.asc
application/pgp-encrypted:*.gpg
application/pgp-encrypted:*.pgp
and, last but not least !!! :
application/pgp-keys:*.pkr

solution : rename .asc pgp key file into .pkr file
the double-click will import (silently!) the key to your key ring
mind that, when exporting a key, seahorse still suggest the extension .asc

silently : means there is strictly no feedback; so you don't know if you
successfully imported the key or not. you need to open seahorse to verify
that it works!

Nick,

Could you confirm?

You already imported my public key ("manually") so you will not see
any difference
if you now import a .pkr version of the same key.
Would you be so kind
- - to download the .pkr file containing the public key of my son Nathan
from http://www.cgsa.net/tomboy/files/pgpkey-Nathan-Meurrens.pkr
- - and when the file is on your machine simply double-click on it
- - then verify in seahorse that you really imported the key
- - and let us know...

Thanks in advance

marc
