Description Emil Sedgh 2008-01-26 11:52:56 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

on every KDE startup i have to open the config dialog and re-enter my password because it looks like that twitter applet is unable to get the password...
and kwallet asks for password on every KDE startup.

(please create a widget-twitter component)

Comment 1 Chani 2008-01-26 12:03:33 UTC

technically this is a problem with the engine, not the applet. do we have a policy for bugzilla components?

Comment 2 Chani 2008-02-06 12:07:01 UTC

actually, it turns out the problem is in kwallet. it's crashing or failing in some other way and leaves us waiting for the wallet forever.

since this isn't a problem with plasma, I guess I should resolve the bug as invalid and go talk to the kwallet guys or something.

a workaround for now (in trunk as of last week): after kde4 has finished loading, click the applet's configure button, then hit ok without changing anything. it'll attempt to read the password again.

Comment 3 Aaron J. Seigo 2008-02-13 00:21:44 UTC

works just fine here.

Comment 4 Christophe Marin 2008-04-13 15:48:50 UTC

As this bug is still present in SVN (extragear/plasma rev. 796375), would you mind reopen this bug until it is resolved, please ?

Comment 5 Christophe Marin 2008-04-13 15:51:41 UTC

Note : I saw Chani's comment and workaround (which doesn't work here, btw), but this shouldn't be marked as resolved.

Comment 6 Christophe Marin 2008-04-13 16:06:09 UTC

Forget #4 & #5.  kquitapp plasma && plasma + logout/login resolved the issue. (However, I'm not sure the end user will instinctively use kquitapp plasma to save those settings.)

Comment 7 Chani 2008-04-13 17:19:35 UTC

actually, I haven't seen this bug appear for ages; either it was fixed elsewhere or the problem was that I'd only half-installed kde4's kwallet.

also, kquitapp has nothing to do with getting the password from kwallet, so either it was a coincidence or you're talking about some completely different bug.
