I can understand that point :)

The main reason I suggested it is to avoid accidental closes. If it closes too
often people will stop using the auto-close and we'd be hurting the security we
were aiming for.

I fully agree on your point of checkbox-overload. I never figured out how the
kwallet auto-close stuff worked. The UI is too complex for me.

One thing that the kwallet auto-close has is a feature that closes it after 10
minutes of no app accessing the kwallet. I think we can mirror this by
replacing the idea of application with activity.
So if we leave our activity of choice for more than N seconds, we close it.
That would satisfy my reasons for this report.

I would do that without a configurable GUI, I personally think that closing on
screensaver start should also be default and not GUI configurable. So theres
that.

So, building on your idea, the only UI is we can optionally associate a vault
to an activity. So no change.

What about we add the following auto-close behaviour;

* on screensaver start.
* 120 seconds after we stopped being on one of the associated activities.
