Bug 146167

Description of problem:

I don't know if this intentional (SELinux??) or not, but there is a
behavior change with gnupg v1.2.6 shipped with FC3 vs gnupg v1.2.1 FC2
and ealier.

Before when invoking "gnupg --gen-key" it would automtically create
~/.gnupg. In fact, it would tell you so:

$ gpg --gen-key

gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information
gpg: /home/guru/.gnupg: directory created

       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Now with v1.2.6 shipped with FC3, it doesn't create the directory, and
instead you get lots of nasy error messages.
