Title:
  Seahorse refuses to sync keys when no servers are selected for
  personal key publishing

Status in Seahorse:
  New
Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: seahorse

  lsb_release -rd:
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  apt-cache policy seahorse
  seahorse:
    Installed: 2.30.0-0ubuntu2
    Candidate: 2.30.0-0ubuntu2

  When selecting “Remote” > “Sync and Publish Keys…” in the Seahorse
  menu, if no servers are selected for personal key publishing in
  preferences (“Publish keys to: none, don't publish keys”), Seahorse
  refuses to sync the “Other keys”. (see screenshot)

  This means that unless you agree to publish your key(s) to a keyserver, Seahorse will not sync them.
  Seahorse should not depend on the users will to publish or not to sync keys.

  Furthermore, if you have ticked the option “Automatically synchronize
  modified keys with key servers” the keys are never synced and stay out
  of date.

  Quick workaround:
  (from the command line)
   gpg --refresh-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu:11371
