Going further, Stefan. I agree with you, and even further, I already proffed 
that even typing in password in konqy or whatever can leave it on swap, and 
can be intercepted by someone who got access to your computer :-)

But wallet is suppose to increase security, and that's what we are talking 
about. We agree that security means for us, that passwords are not stored as 
plain text on HD, and we require some kind of key to unscramble them, even if 
that key is stored on HD without password.
