Going through the list archives, I came across a few of your postings
that seem to indicate that you have more insight into the way subkey
self-signatures are generated than what I can gather from the RFC.
Arguably, it's one of the most confusing sections...

You have to create the file yourself and place it in ~/.gnupg.
Robert suggested gedit, but if you have KDE (you mentioned that you
installed kgpg), you can use Kate or KW
Hi,

That is not correct. The ordering of options and commands does not
matter. However mixing arguments

By default, GnuPG will export keys in binary format. This is more
space-efficient, but is not readable to humans. (I don't think that's a
big loss, given that the human-readable version isn't all that readable
to huma

Legal or employment reasons. Some people have smart card usage mandated
to them. These people tend to be the primary users.
