For password management there are two parts, the first is the QtWebKit  
side (grabbing and loading forms) and the second is the hook to  
KWallet via dbus.  I have finished the first part in Arora and  
currently just save dump to disk the form data.  If someone wants to  
help do the second part we could create a working code base that could  
be shared.
