Good point. Storing passwords in a desktop neutral way is definitely a
problem for a "Common VFS". Again there are two incompatible libraries
(KWallet and gnome-keyring) for the same purpose - instead of a single
library and two front-ends. Same story... ;-)

I'll have a look how the APIs compare as soon i have time...
