Also if gpg is trying to download a key from a keyserver and the keyserver 
doesn't respond (or takes some time), kmail takes all CPU. In the case of the 
server not responding, forever.

Being stuck in a select() seems slightly better than polling, to meI thought 
an async solution is being worked on for 3.2, so why not commit the select() 
solution now?
