Description Christopher Singley 2007-08-21 17:24:33 UTC

After upgrading to KDE 3.5.7 (via Gentoo modular KDE packages), Kmail/Kwallet integration is broken.  The wallet file remains at ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.kwl .  Starting kwalletmanager allows me to browse the contents of the wallet; everything looks good.  With the wallet open, starting kmail gives a pop-up window announcing that the wallet has been forced closed.

Whenever kmail is running, not only is the wallet closed, but it is blanked completely from the kwallet GUI window.  It is not possible to create a new wallet through the GUI, nor to set a default wallet.

I can't find anybody else reporting this behavior; have I misconfigured something?
Thanks

I unchecked the options to "Save POP/SMTP password" for each account, closed kmail, closed kwalletmanager.  Opened kmail, re-entered POP/SMTP passwords, checked the option to save passwords.

kmail issued a request to open "kdewallet" (it knew the right name for the wallet), ; kwalletmanager executed and prompted me for the wallet password.  Upon successful auth, same thing - blank kwalletmanager GUI; nothing can be done.

Upon closing kmail, the kwalletmanager remains blanked out.  Only logout/login restores the kwallet GUI, and the wallet is unusable.

This is not a crash.

wallet has been forced closed. 
Can you please paste the exact wording of the popup here? I can't see any such dialog in KMail.

I guess this is indeed something misconfigured.

>I guess this is indeed something misconfigured.

Indeed, and I've figured out what it is.  I upgraded to qt-4.3.0 at the same time I upgraded to kde-3.5.7, and like an idiot I mistyped the USE flag to turn on QT3 support.  Naturally the absence of QT3 support screwed up the signalling used by the KDE apps built on top.

Recompiling QT with the correct USE flag for QT3 support fixed my problem.  This is not a bug.

I'm surprised the KDE apps were even able to run with my system so badly misconfigured.  I guess you guys are making good progress on the migration to QT4.  Keep up the good work, and thanks for the support.

PS. just FYI, the "wallet forced closed" popup was actually generated by kwallet, not kmail.
