   Kleopatra does NOT have a "Revoke Key" context menu option: I just
checked. How did you get that?

   And even if it did, the caption is misleading: a user will not want
to risk revoking something he's tremulously created at this point. The
menu caption could conceivably be changed to "Revocation..." in order to
include both revocation and certificate creation.

   If that capability does exist, then the certificate creation wizard
must be modified to include a button to invoke it: this is what most
users will want to do upon being warned that they really should create a
revocation certificate before publishing a key...
