--- Comment #3 from Harald Sitter <sitter@kde.org> ---
Regarding the message box, I think even a notification is not necessary for the
migration. It should  "just work". The user doesn't really need to know about
this if everything goes according to plan and the migration works. If the
migration fails however it would absolutely make sense to show a notification
that allows the user to inspect the problem (look at the log view?) and/or file
a bug etc.

kwallet-pam solves the password dialog as the user should not get any dialog if
pam can unlock the wallet, so that should not be a problem for 99% of
mainstream users.
In instances without kwallet-pam I do not think this would be the only case
where kwallet throws arbitrary password requests without context (plasma-nm
wifi for example?). It's really more of a general design flaw than a problem
limited to the this particular instance unfortunately.

Also I just noticed that this wizard essentially renders kwallet-pam user
experience broken on systems with both kwallet4 and kwallet5.
In order to allow existing wallets to migrate I understand that kwallet5 must
be started after kwallet4, so kwallet-pam systems would *always* run into the
launchpad bug I mentioned above where kwalletd5 wants to migrate an empty
wallet for new users.
With kwallet-pam being part of Plasma 5.4 we really need to get this fixed as
soon as possible to not have problems with the user experience for too long :/
