Using the Edgy versions of gnome-gpg (0.5.0-0ubuntu1) and gpg (1.4.3-2ubuntu3.2), new keys cannot be generated with gnome-gpg.
Here's the related output:

Thanks for your report!
Since gnome-gpg wasn't written to handle arbitrary input requests from gpg, this doesn't work yet. Currently only being prompted for the password is supported. As a work-around, you'll need to run gpg directly.
