seahorse should prompt for creating a revocation certificate after having created private and public keys

[marco.pallotta]

Binary package hint: seahorse

Seahorse seems not to have a tool to create a revocation certificate which is an fundamental step after having created private and public key. In fact this is a security issue (you can read this in all gpg guides) as if your key was compromised, or you lose you personal passwd, you can only inform the "world" about this revoking the key with a revocation certificate.
I think it should be useful to prompt for creating the revocation certificate just after having created you own private and public key (this option should be obvioulsy always provided also after this initial step)

I have tested this issue in Hardy Heron and seahorse 2.22.2

Andreas, the gnome-bugs 335403 is not related to the request I made as it relates to signature revoking and not to the creation of a revocation certificate for your own personal private key. So I opened a new request in upstream.
