Currently, we do not allow password change in Kleopatra for keys where the primary key is offline.
For users who keep their primary offline it would be a usefull feature. Especially in the case where you use a key as a shared group key. Otherwise the whole group would have to use the password given by the key-creator, as typically the (VSD) users would not be comfortable with the command line.

I disabled this for offline keys because I erroneously assumed that one would need the primary key for changing the password. We can simply replace the check for the primary secret key with a check for any secret subkey that's stored on disk.
Works. Tested with VS-Desktop-3.2.94.474-Beta and Gpg4win 4.4 by moving only the signature key to a smartcard and then changing the password of the certificate via the context menu.
