Umh... There's something wrong in this suggestion:

$ gpg2 --keyid-format none --list-keys gwolf.org
gpg: unknown keyid-format 'none'
$ gpg2 --keyid-format fingerprint --list-keys gwolf.org
gpg: unknown keyid-format 'fingerprint'

I get the same results with gpg instead of gpg2, FWIW. The man page
mentions:

       --keyid-format short|0xshort|long|0xlong
       		     Select how to display key IDs. "short" is the
                     traditional 8-character key ID. "long" is the
                     more accurate (but less convenient) 16-character
                     key ID. Add an "0x" to either to include an "0x"
                     at the beginning of the key ID, as in 0x99242560.
                     Note that this option is ignored if the option
                     --with-colons is used.
