Having a powerful password manager like your app would be really nice to have in the base distribution. Did you try talking to George Staikos (staikos@kde.org) about those missing needs? I would suspect that he would be willing to add those parts so you could base your app on KWallet. Bye, Christian >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
