I started it from the kmenu, which brought up the icon adjacent to the
date/time on the taskbar. A right click on that brought up a menu and I
chose configuration.
checking the enable button unghosted the rest of the options and I chose
to create a pair of .wallet files. And while it went thru the motions, I
don't believe they were created as they didn't show up when selecting the
default wallet for that function. I've just prowled thru the .kde tree
and found a .kde/share/apps/kwallet/kwallet.kwl file, 60 bytes of binary
data, and its dated about 50 hours ago when it last crashed/rebooted the
box.
There is also a .kde/share/config/kwalletrc, which looks like this:
-------------
[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Default Wallet=
Enabled=false
First Use=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=true
Leave Manager Open=false
Leave Open=false
Local Wallet=
Prompt on Open=false
Use One Wallet=false
--------------
and its dated 5 minutes ago when I was fooling with it and tried to create
a wallet file per the two choices shown. I may set First Use=true just
for grins & restart it. Here goes... No difference, it still doesn't
create the wallet. And nothing is being logged about it
in /var/log/secure, nada, zip. And running it did not cancel the First
Use=true in that kwalletrc.
I've started an updatedb session and when its done I'll see if locate can
find the three wallets I tried to create. In the meantime, should I nuke
both of those and let it create new ones?
