KWalletD in a second session will read the kwl file on disk and write 
changes back with a small delay. When the file changes, the kwl file is re-
read iirc. So it SHOULD work but it's not elegant at all.

From a storage of secrets point of view a user bus feels more natural but it 
does have the problem of having to figure out how to present the user with 
password input dialogs. I guess that might actually be a big problem for 
every D-Bus daemon which needs to present some UI to the user. Would that be 
solvable?

Michael
