Just tried to sign a file from Kleopatra using said certificate which failed 
because it is not trusted. Also I could see that it is not amongst my Trusted 
Certificates in Kleopatra - could that be the reason for the red X?
I imported the certificate using "gpgsm --import Thomas_Olsen.pkcs12". Should I 
have done something else?

PS: I flunked from en/decryption when studying computer science ;-)
