[Bug 1003398] Re: [regression] kwallet asking for initial password

[axel]

Perhaps kwallet should have options. There is a discussion about kwallet 
http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58954-kwallet-and-safe-password-management
I need to admit that I don't understand much of technical analysis so I will put it in my own words.
>From my point of view when I am the only person with physical access to my PC it annoys me when kwallet requires password every time when I want to open Kmail. So, I imagine that either kwallet should have no password or rather have password that allows access to kwallet while I want to manage my wallets - for example add, change or remove passwords - but not ask about it while other programs calls kwallet for passwords (like kmail or other). Kwallet should assume that if I am logged into this particular user account  I am a legitimate user and the programs  I use should be allowed to access passwords without further confirmation. Or at least make an option that allows kwallet to behave that way.
If kwallet could have this global password that protects adding, changing, deleting password in kwallet this would protect kwallet and the user from any other person physical access but at the same time it would be convenient to manage password for the legitimate user.
I am not a security expert, so forgive me if I don't take into account some important things I don't know about, but this is how it looks from a point of view of a regular user of desktop PC.
