Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

In Seahorse in the My Personal Keys section if you right click on a key you have the option to "copy public key". If you do this for a PGP key you can paste anywhere and it will paste the public key. This doesn't work for ssh keys. Maybe its not supposed to, but then the option shouldn't be there.

On a related note you cant paste public ssh keys into Seahorse, but you can paste PGP keys.

Im using Hardy with seahorse version 2.22.1.
