I don't think here the file format needs to be common. All that is=20
required is a common interface to the daemon/program that does the=20
password handling.

With DCOP, it works for all KDE apps. What I think it would be most useful=
=20
is that we prepare a D-BUS specification of the calls required to access=20
the password server. A well-known-service under org.freedesktop.* should=20
be mapped for that instance.

The user would then be able to load whichever manager he prefers -- or=20
none at all, in which case no password saving would happen.
