I'd like to make it clear that this did not occur immediately after I changed my password. It had been prompting me to save my password for several days, and reboots too I might add. I did try deleting the ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail folder as suggested in another similar bug. It had no effect. I have even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Kontact and Kmail. I'm experiencing the same problem. I changed a password on an imap email account over the weekend. I think I then successfully accessed my mail in that that account - not sure on that point - but now whenever I open Kmail the "Authorisation Dialogue" pops up and it doesn't matter if I enter the correct password, a spurious password or just hit cancel Kmail just segfaults (signal 11). "kmail --version" details Qt: 4.5.2 KDE: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) KMail: 1.12.2 using (K)Ubuntu 9.10 Appears the work around it to not let kmail access kwallet when it initially starts, i.e. (i) start kmail before kwallet has been opened, (ii) click cancel on the access wallet password dialogue box, (iii) kmail will now start without crashing and request passwords for every account. (iv) provide appropriate passwords for each account. The one point I'm not clear on is if kmail is now storing the passwords outside of kwallet? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 184324 *** Created attachment 51255 [details]

The same was observed in my case (see report to which this document is attached). I have two accounts. I entered my password for both accounts and immediately got the crash dialog. Tried the same thing with disabled compositioning (see why below), but the same thing occurred.
I tried messing around with the KDE screensaver, namely the OpenGL fun screensavers. I pressed "Preview" and watched the preview. In order to exit, I meant to hit "Escape," but, instead, hit my keyboard's "Back" button (for web naviation). The screensaver preview was stuck and the only way to restore my desktop was to kill kwin and log in again.
Don't know if that's related.
