I select 'add a new key or item' > PGP Key and I am presented with a
dialogue box requesting my Full Name and E-mail address.  The first 3
attempts that I made failed but the final attempt seemed to succeed.
For the last attempt I avoided expanding the 'Advanced key options'
area.  I thought that perhaps setting an Expiry Date or Comment was
causing an issue.

I can see now that I have a second key added.  As mentioned above it
seems that the real problem is that it takes a very long time to finish
the key generation process, over 18 minutes so far on some of the keys.
I agree with TORNADO that the interface should give some hint that it is
working still rather than silently failing.
