After having written the bug report I logged in again to reproduce this
issue with increased verbosity level of debugging.

I started the generation process and closed the window by accident. The time
I gained by that was good to eat something. 
~20 minutes passed and I logged in again to start the process again - to my
surprise there were the keys!

In order to ensure everything was do correctly I have logged out and in with
another user and started again generating the key-pairs and waited for about
6 minutes - no pair appeared. But there is one instance of GPG running,
abviously invoked by IMP. (It ended successfully after ~20 minutes.)

Now, as I believe the keys will be generated successfully this time (again),
I would recommend you one of the following:
 - Advise the user to go eating something while generating takes place
 - or display a popup with GPG's output in order to show him the status.
