SUMMARY
Cannot get setup interface.  When I launch krfb from the menu, nothing happens.  When I launch krfb from the console, the prompt gets back, nothing happens.  I look at tasks and krfb is running on power up.  I kill krfb then I can get the setup interface but nothing gets saved on exit.  It doesn't quite exit also, I need to kill it again before I can get the interface.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu 18.04 LTS 
All update and upgrades

You filed this bug against product "krdc", but in the summary you write about problems with "krfb", please clarify.

On my system i can launch krdc + krfb properly from the menu or from konsole:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.10
Release:        18.10
Codename:       cosmic

KRDC + KRFB Version 18.04.3
KDE Frameworks 5.50.0
Qt 5.11.1 (kompiliert gegen 5.11.1)
Das xcb Fenstersystem

All this is about Krfb, my bad, sorry about the confusion.  I can add that I have a clean install with only MythTVFrontend installed and I installed tightvncserver then removed it.  I will retry a clean install of KUbuntu.

On a clean install, I have the same problem.  The only unconventional part is that I had disabled kwallet I guess.  I re-enabled kwallet.
Again, if I kill krfb, start it, use the "Enable Desktop Sharing" password, I can see the session remotely after accepting RFB (VNC) on the host. But this password changes on reboot.  I would like to use the "Unattended Access" password but it is not saved through reboot...  Where is this saved?  How can I troubleshoot, any help welcomed!

Your original report is about krfb's interface.

Now you talk about issues with persistent password. This is apparently a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397271
