Personally, it would be nice to have some message that explain what to do next
and those who are familiar with gpg and linux will know what needs to be done.
Anyhow, I have done my best below to help those who are stuck and desires using
GPG.
Overview of the steps: KDE wallet is looking for something called public key
pairs that you register to the keyring. The keyring will be tied to your
username on your machine. You can generate your public key pairs using gpg.
After you generate your public key pairs, it will be listed in your KDE wallet
and you can select it.
1. Check if you have gpg. It normally comes with your linux distribution. Try
the following below (If not, replace gpg with gpg2):
>>which gpg
If you get a complaint that it is unavailable, you need to install gpg.
2. Generate your key pair:
>>gpg --gen-key
Select the default when it asks for the kind of key. Choose to have the key
never to expire. Follow the instructions to fill out your real name, email,
comments, and passphrase (The passphrase is the key that protects your private
key in case your private key is stolen). Generate random bytes by doing what it
asks you to do. It may take some time so be patient. For me, it took 5 minutes
or so. Eventually, you will get an output that it generated it and you will be
returned to the prompt.
3. Verify that your key pair has been generated:
>>gpg -K
You will see a list of keys in the keyring and you should see the one that you
generated.
The next time KDE wallet runs, your key will be available if you choose GPG
encryption.
I hope this helps.
