In my mind, the only UI necessary is what you mention. Generating keys  
should be automatic, so the only real UI that should ever be presented  
is:

---------------------------------------------
[][][]
---------------------------------------------
[ Do you want to accept an incoming key
[ from user (blah?)
[
[                        [ Deny ]  [ Accept ]
---------------------------------------------

The rest of the UI (active sessions, etc) is superfluous.

If the implementation were that: a background process that has one  
single piece of UI - I think it would be ideal.

I'm _amazed_ pathetic apple didn't include OTR in iChat, but I  
digress ;)

best,
