(Since I haven't used your app yet, my opinion is only based on your webpage)

Hi Michael,

IMHO having to competing password managers inside the KDE base distribution is 
a bad idea. 

So I think you have two options:

1. Add your application to kdeextragear. This gives your app more visibility 
and other benefits of the kde infrastructure (doc, i18n, etc).
2. You could base your application on KWallet. So it uses KWallet to store the 
password but provides the additional features it has now (like chipcard 
interface). It could then replace the current kwalletmanager  in 
kdeutils/kwallet.

Just my 0,02 Euro....
