            Bug ID: 298366
          Severity: major
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: lemma@confuego.org
           Summary: kwallet password prompt should raise always on top of
                    everything (and with focus) due to security issues
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: StormByte@gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kwalletmanager

Kwallet password prompt (and possibly ksecretservice too when implemented)
should raise its window on top of others for security reasons.
Test case and one of posible scenarios:
Suppose you are chatting (irc for example), and start kopete (just an example),
you login with it, but you are still chatting. There are times when that
password prompt window goes behind and without focus, but you type password and
hit enter.
You think you are typing in password prompt (if you are not paying much
attention) but instead you are sending your password somewhere...

I think that kind of scenarios should be avoided to have more security. The
pros are more than the cons, because if you type anything in password prompt,
any side effect will be produced (which the opposite can be dangerous).

Reproducible: Always
