1: Install the latest version of GPGServices available from the website. As far as I know, the newest version isn't bundled yet.
3: Yes, you create a revocation certificate and when you want to revoke your keys, import it and send your key to one or more keyservers. 4: No you can't delete keys or revoked keys from the keyserver network. If you have revoked a key and sent it to a keyserver, you can't un-revoke it. Also, deleting a key completely isn't possible either. Once a key is in the keyserver network, you can't delete it. -- Moritz Ulrich Am Donnerstag, 16.
