The "Key ID". IOW, exactly what is says.

No, that's an ASCII representation of the key. The key ID can be found
by doing the following at command prompt;
gpg --list-keys <you@???>
You'll get out put starting something like;
pub 1024D/8B81EB69 2008-09-01 [expires: 2011-09-01]
uid Brad Rogers <brad@???>
The important bit being the first line which tells you;
pub 1024 D / 8B81EB69 2008-09-01 [expire....]
Public Key; Size & Type / KEYID; Date creation; Expiry date.
That is, the 8 digit Hex number immediately after the "/" is the info
you need.
