Description Diederik van der Boor 2009-01-04 23:37:20 UTC
Version:           onbekend (using 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)) "release 3.1", KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.7-9-pae

I have to re-enter the password for a remote webdav:// share too often. I disabled "Remember password" because I don't want it to be stored forever (it's a server at work, while I'm working at home).

Example:
 * Open Kate
 * Open the webdav:// share
 * Enter password.

Now:
 * Select the file
 * Kate asks for the password again.

And:
 * Open a new file
 * Browse to a next directory
 * Enter passworwd again.

And:
 * Open a new file
 * Enter password again.

When "remember password" is not checked, I expected the application to remember the password for the session only (much like a session cookie which is lost when the application closes).

* In KIO::Scheduler attempt to find and use the window-id from the top most
  level window so that the ids used will not be from temporary short lived
  windows such as file dialogs.

* Set the window widget when calling KIO functions in KFileDialog and related
  classes so that password information is preserved for the entire life of the
  application from which the file dialog is launched instead of a short duration.
