Comment 5 for bug 1299747

The problem is caused by very long period when random key generator collects random bytes. You can find "gpg ... --gen-key" process still runs. This operation could take up to few minutes, so users won't wait. When I was investigating this I have restored a snapshot of my VM each time before the key is generated.

IMO this issue is related to the interface. We need to have some information that the process of the key creation isn't finished.
