Short fullname hangs QtPass keypair generation process for infinite time

[dakk]

I was trying to initialize QPass by creating a keypair. I put my fullname and other requested info. Then the "Generating a gnupg keypair" window appears, but after 3 hours it never finished.

So I tried to create a keypair from terminal using the same backend used by QPass (gpg2); when I type my fullname (I typed "dakk" that's my nickname) gpg2 says that the fullname should be longer than 4 characters.

I figured out that QPass received this error by gpg2, but this error is not handled properly by QPass.

First time qtpass user here.
I can confirm I have the same issue.
Trying to create a keypair, filling in my email and full name, it hangs on "Generating a new keypair".

Adding a letter to my given name makes it possible to create a keypair. Doesn't matter if I also use my surname or not, its the length of the given name that creates the issue.

Solution seems to be two-fold.

A) Correctly check for status / errors of gpg2 keygen.
B) Warn that the "given name" should be longer than 4 characters.

I implemented the (B) solution. I also checked for email validity (gpg2 expect for a valid email address)
