Created attachment 106112 [details] example kwalletd5 password dialog showing lots of needless space waste. Now that kwalletd5 replaces kwalletd4 even on "FrankenStux" rigs like mine (Plasma4 desktop with KF5 stuff installed into /opt/local) I'm seeing only the former's wallet unlock dialogs and have no longer any interest in being able to know which daemon is asking. Something I've been very mildly annoyed by thus became more "urgent": why is there so much useless space in the kwalletd5 password request dialogs? I'd post a screenshort for comparison, but will first have to find a bootable backup that still uses kwalletd4...
moved to KWidgetsAddons
Has anything changed in the way Qt (re)sizes dialog windows as a function of the enabled/disabled items? After setting the layout size constraint to SetFixedSize in the .ui file (plus a few other tweaks that probably don't matter) I'm getting something that looks a lot less clumsy; see the 2nd screenshot.
Created attachment 106114 [details] "packed" dialog
Created attachment 106115 [details] patch The patch for v5.35.0 which gives me the packed password dialog. Certain changes are probably just due to saving the file in a different (newer - v5.8.0?) Qt Designer version.
RJVB, can you submit this patch (minus unnecessary changes) on https://phabricator.kde.org/? Patches tend to get lost in bug reports.
