I do - and when I use it in less familiar circumstances I use that to change 
to the relevant identity.  The problem really arises when, for instance, I'm 
replying to a certain correspondent who sends me signed and encrypted 
messages, using the old identity.  He expects a reply from the same identity, 
but when I'm in that familiar circumstance I don't see that the identity has 
changed - I don't look at it - until it gets to the point where it tells me I 
don't have keys configured.

It's not insurmountable, of course, but it's a real annoyance :-)
