It's also possible to have one key for several addresses, as I do. For those that use kgpg, just take a look at my key. It lists several addresses and is signed by a number of people - yes, they did see my passport :-). Similarly, gpg --list-keys 1E1C9C17 shows all the identities that my key can be used for.

Not unless you have: 1) Verified the details of the key (fingerprint, size, and type, at least) 2) Verified the email address used (perhaps via a simple challenge email asking the key holder to sign some data of your choosing and return it to you) 3) Done some sort of validation that the name on the key is really the name the key holder is known as There is nothing to be gained by just signing a key to make the "invalid" warning go away. And in fact, it can be harmful. If you use --sign-key and then even send that key to someone else or to a keyserver, others may take your signature to mean that you've done some or all of the verification I mentioned above. If you haven't, you're harming your reputation, as no one wants to trust the signature from someone that doesn't do any verification. (Think of signing a key as you would notarizing a document. You wouldn't stamp your seal on something without some checking.) If you really must silence the warning (and I would argue that there is no point in that), you can use gpg --lsign-key to create a local signature. Such a signature will not ever be exported. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abandon the search for Truth; settle for a good fantasy. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Of course we aren't shipping unstable betas or even alphas of KDE in a stable release! KDE 4.1 is not released yet.

And, how is it initted/created and what should be in it? Is it a file or a directory? I'm finding nuttin' googling my rear-end off. How 'bout it Rahul?? Inquiring minds really need to know, so Xvfb works. Or, would a local.conf file, as suggested here, override the mysterious fontpath.d whateveritis?? I sure need to fix this one for my project using Xvbf in Java Wonderland so we get our "proof-of-concept" before the interested parties.

Rex, the other shoe on that pony, as has been debated before, is that a lot of us would prefer to ask the list first, just so we're not creating something <*>--STUPID--<*> on the bug list. I'm sure the guys that have to answer those tickets would rather we make sure that we've TRIED to become informed on the problems first, then to make an intelligent as well as useful submission to bugzilla after. Or, we could just put the list to bed and file every problem to bugzilla to wait months for the result. That's my take on it.
