Of course I used the password "supersecret" when krdc(!) asked me for it.

Git commit bc755b81d849198b034b4cdeec27711cb7d576e9 by Alexey Min.
Committed on 26/08/2020 at 12:55.
Pushed by alexeymin into branch 'fix_storing_config'.

Make sure to save security settings each time they are modified

Settings that are modified using normal settings window, which is
invoked using menu "Configure Desktop Sharing..." are always saved
correctly.

However some settings that are present on Krfb main window
(normal password, unattended password, checkbox "enable unattended
access") are not handled by KConfigDialog and there is a chance that
settings might not be saved correctly (for example if application
was suddenly terminated).

This hopefully fixes some bugs which are present since year 2011-2014
and have 110 votes, like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340411,
maybe something else.
