Hi Adriaan,

Now is the password effectively stored encrypted in the config file.
However, the is a little problem : 

If you modify some parameter in the config-dialog, the entered proxy password 
is lost when you apply changes and a null-string is stored in the config 
file. There is a simple workaround to this which is to enter the password 
again before clicking the apply button if you modify some other parameter in 
mal-setup dialog...

The fix would probably reside in re-reading the kpassword infos before writing 
in the file. I checked quickly the sources but the solution is not so 
evident...

Regards,
Olivier.
