Description Tong Hui 2015-01-21 16:33:58 UTC 
From GnuPG 1.4.0, when generate new keyring, it will add a subkey by default. However Kleopatra not add that subkey.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate new OpenPGP keyring
2. Exam the new keyring, no subkey added during the generation process
3. Compare with other GnuPG GUI softwares (KGpg \ Seahorse \ GPA), they all generate a subkey by default.  

Actual Results:  
No subkey generated. 


Expected Results:  
By default, from GnuPG 1.4.0, gpg will generate a subkey when generate a new gpg keyring. 

For security reason, it is better to generate a subkey by default. Or give a additional method for user to add a subkey after generate keyring.  

GnuPG 1.4.18
GnuPG 2.0.26
Debian 7/8 
Fedora 21

This is a problem, and Kleopatra needs to change.   It's especially problematic because kleopatra doesn't offer a way to create subkeys, so there is no workaround.

This was fixed with commit 61c335853895e50bec7c749dcd505200e96d0521
