FireGPG 0.6 no longer lists private keys

Ok.  Continuing on.  I have updated to 0.6.1 but now I get the follow error.

FireGPG is unable to access the gpg executable.  Make sure GPG is installed or specify the path in the preferences.

I have specified the location manually and made sure gpg is installed there but still get the error.  It worked fine in 0.5.  I had just done a downgrade earlier to verify.  If you want to send me a test version before release then let me know.

Somehow this seems like it started happening after the IPC change.

It didn't used to interfere.  Here is my location.

C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe

With the <space> bit in mind.  I'll give it a try using 8.3 context instead (I'm on Windows XP) and see if that works around the issue.

EDIT: Nope.  Didn't do anything for me.  Changed it to C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe to no avail. 

EDIT: I just tried even C:\gnupg\gpg.exe to no avail.  Hmmm... (thinks about slashes).

What is your path location?

As I stated previously it worked fine with 0.52 (and since that one is not available I can verify with 0.5).  There are no plugins that should be blocking access to external applications however I think your path indicated that you are on a linux or unix based system.  I think that is the key and that it is working fine on the linux front but not on windows.  I'll verify in a bit.  Anyways I compared settings as listed in about:config for both 0.5 and in 0.6 and I found the following two keys to not be set after an initial load.

extensions.firegpg.gpg_path
extensions.firegpg.xpcom_state

To me it would seem that it is not detecting gpg at all and is not checking my path statement in 0.6 where in 0.5 it autodetected it properly and populated the first one.  The second one would refer to xpcom which if I read the notes right is no longer being used in 0.6.

EDIT: Well it definitely works on linux.  I tested it under Ubuntu 8.10 Beta and it worked fine.  I generated a test key (one month expiry) and checked and it works fine.  Maybe it is one of the extensions that I have installed so I will disable all of them and check for that.

On that note here is a list of extensions, themes, and addons that I have configured in Firefox...
