Yes. There is no callback on this entry yet.
Also parsing the name, figuring out which of the 5 components each word belongs turned out harder than I thought, it's not as good as it could be yet.
For now, please use the dialog!

There is no backup yet to compare to, except the original card, if one already exists.
I recently changed the data-structures such as that all entries are stored under self.entry.
So now it's easy to make such a backup and compare to the actual entries later.

See the included GnuPGInterface.py. I'm planning to. 
There is such a property in the rfc. It's simply "KEY:".
