Description Thomas McGuire 2008-02-24 14:40:19 UTC

Version:           SVN trunk (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Currently, the wallet can not be opened when the wallet service (kded4) is not running.
Applications which use the wallet have to fallback to other things, probably prompting the user for a password.

Instead, kded4 and the wallet service should be autostarted when the wallet is accessed.

This ensures the wallet works properly when a KDE application is started outside of KDE.

An example is KMail. I use a separate user for it, and therefore kdeinit4 is not started when I log in via the shell, and I get password prompts when starting KMail.

Fixed now, thanks to Michael Leupold.
