>> Phenomenon

An import completion window, which displays the user ID and the fingerprint of the imported public key, does not appear after you obtained a public key. The public key of the correspondent is stored in your public key ring, but the key has not been set in the member information.

>> Cause

Perhaps the version of GnuPG you are using is earlier than 1.2.4.

The earlier versions of GnuPG does not tell the fingerprint when a public key is imported. wija relies on the GnuPG's behavior of telling the fingerprint, and shows an import completion window upon receipt of the fingerprint. Setting the member information also happens then. Therefore, an import completion window does not appear if you use an earlier version of GnuPG.

>> Solution

Install the latest version of GnuPG according to the installation guide.

After installation, exit wija once, and start it again.

The public key which has not been set in the member information can be set manually by the procedure explained here.
