I also have this issue on Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64. It occurs here each time.
Seahorse -> File -> New -> PGP Key. I fill in everything and keep the default options. Then I have to wait for several minutes while a popup windows "key generation / primegen" is displayed. Then I get the "General error" message. I still have the ownership over pubring.gpg, and never used gksudo to launch Seahorse. What may I do to help investigate this bug ?
