Description Nico Kruber 2011-02-24 08:49:51 UTC
Version:           4.4.10 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

The first time I start Kontact, e.g. during boot, it is starting akonadi and thus requesting my kwallet password. Although I enter it correctly and the wallet opens, kwallet complains about a failed attempt and that an application may behave strangely. KMail is thus asking for every password of my email accounts. Kopete works though without having to enter the kwallet password again.
I need to close Kontact and restart it again in order for it to get the passwords out of the wallet :(
This almost always happens!

I suppose this may be some timing issue. On my PC I entered the password very quickly during boot and it worked as expected (and as with KDE < 4.6). My netbook however needs a bit more time to boot up and I always see this error as well as on another notebook.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) start KDE with Kontact in the session - the "starting akonadi" window will appear
2) enter the password for kwallet (maybe wait a bit)

Actual Results:  
access to kwallet and kmail fetching emails

Expected Results:  
kmail asking for every account's password

I use the groupware feature of Kontact, i.e. address book and contact's data on an IMAP server - maybe this is related.

this is the exact message I get from "KDE Wallet Service":
"There have been repeated failed attempts to gain access to a wallet. An application may be misbehaving"

I also suffer from this identical problem, also with IMAP accounts
