Review -
I installed this yesterday and played with it, but it crashed on me. Today I figured out why. I was trying to import both my public and private keys that were copied to the clipboard. I wasn't aware that both my public and private keys were in the ASCII Armored export file, I thought it was only my private key. Today, when I went to import a private RSA key, I found that the export file has both keys in it. I re-added my DSA/EIGmail private key and it worked like a champ. Using a web based PGP/GPG encryption program, I was able to encrypt some text, copy it to the clipboard and have oPenGP decrypt it.
