Ok. I just tried the suggestion from Paul G in Post #5. When the Dialog opens which says that the OTR Key for the account is created I continued using my computer. I had ran some for-loops in a terminal, did some research in the web and some typing in an editor.
I did this in order to gather entropy for /dev/random. After 1-2 minutes the key was created successfully. I agree with Paul that there should be a hint for the user what to do, to get the key generated.
