Nooooooo.....

Don't do it from root

You don't need to be root to get a key pair, your only creating that for the 
email address you use.

I take it you start KGpg (Key Management) select 'Keys' on the drop down menu 
select generate key pair.

Put your name in then the email address you want to create a key pair for, 
fill in any other bits you want then click ok.

You should get a whizzing icon/image, he presto theres your new key.

Next check to see if you have some keyservers (settings/configure KGpg) then 
export your key to the server you want that way others will be able to import 
your key.
