 related to the hotkeys.
  To enable keyring backups, the user can either decide to use the GPG home directory as the backup
  folder or any other folder. In the latter case, a folder needs to be chosen.
+ The program makes the backup before it terminates and thus it is very important that the keyrings
+ are stil accessable at this moment. For example if you use an USB flash drive to store your keyrings,
+ you should unplug it after the the icon disappeared at the task bar.
+ By default the secret keyring will not be backuped, if you wish that the secret keyring should be
+ also backuped, and this usually means the backup folder cannot be accessed by other people, you need
+ to mark "Backup includes secret keyring".

  After you refreshed or imported a lot of new keys, either from a file or the keyserver, it is a
  good idea to re-verify the signature in the keyring. This speeds up listing operations.
+ @subsection Refresh one or more Public Keys from the Keyserver
+ From time to time it can be useful to refresh keys from the keyring. The reason for this is,
+ that the key might contain new subkeys, user IDs and or new signatures. It is also possible
+ that the expiration date of a key has been updated or other preferences were changed. And
+ maybe even the worst case, that a key has been compromised and is now revoked.
+ If you want to update a single key, select it and right click on it. Then select the item
+ "Refresh from the Keyserver" in the popup menu. If you do not select any key, the Key Manager
+ assumes that you want to refresh all keys in the keyring. Please bear in mind that this
+ can be a lengthy process if you have a lot of keys in your keyring.
