There's a PDF Handbook for Kleopatra: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdepim/kleopatra/kleopatra.pdf Section 2.3.1 covers revoking a key and shows how to run KGpg to do this. Be careful to not import the revocation certificate into your keyring. The idea is to have it generated, while you have the private key, and then store it in a few places (including on paper as a last resort) so that if you lose access to the private key you can publish the already-generated revocation certificate. Phil Dibowitz wrote a number of docs, which are my standard starting reference for when tech people ask about PGP: http://phildev.net/pgp/ You're after "Creating keys". It's using the GnuPG product's gpg command-line tool, which I suspect should be relevant somehow to KGpg. (I've never used KGpg or Kleopatra.)
