At first I intuitively felt strongly opposed to this, but after reading the relevant part of GNOME-STYLE [1] and thinking some about this, I now agree. I still think we should keep the screenshot for locating the applet, though.

Sure. Let's say "openpgp_public_key_encryption" then. >> Actually there may be a point in uniting these pages into a single >> one now since the same tool is used in both cases.

Keeping these > pages separate also makes it easier to link to the one or the other. You may be right. OTOH, some parts will be (largely) duplicated, like how to find the applet in the notification area, the explanation that gpgApplet operates on the clipboard, and how to decrypt/verify stuff. Cheers!
