I don't actually remember, and I don't actually have kwallet installed any longer and thus can't look it up... The reason I don't have kwallet installed now is because I ended up not using it any longer, after I switched to non-kde alternative for various reasons, where the kde apps use kwallet. When kmail akonadized, thus breaking "it just works" stability for something as critical as email, I ultimately switched to claws-mail. And actually, once I dumped kmail, I ended up dumping anything else kdepim related (including akregator and kaddressbook, that had been installed here) as well, thus eliminating a whole class of dependencies from my system. =:^) So no more kmail/akonadi/other-kdepim using kwallet. And after watching the way konqueror/kde devs handle stability and security issues for the web browser, which at the same time must handle untrusted content from random web sites *AND* be able to reliably handle the internet banking people like me take for granted these days... Let's just say if the kde/konqueror devs considered 4.2 thru 4.6 "ready for ordinary users" as they claimed, their "ordinary users" must only use their browser as a "toy browser", not for stuff like net banking, online purchases, perhaps state dissident communication in the face of imprisonment should their security be compromised... Well, I /do/ use my browser for online banking and purchases, etc, my browser is NOT just a toy, and I do NOT consider that sort of breakage acceptable for an app that critical to my online and financial security! So I switched to firefox and no longer have konqueror installed on the system either, which means /it/ doesn't need nor use kwallet any longer... I still had kwallet installed for a few versions, until at one update I checked what still depended on it, turned out nothing, and what didn't depend on it but should, and might break if I didn't have it installed, turned out nothing there, either. So I don't even have kwallet installed any more, and thus can't double- check this, but from memory... If you right click on the kwallet tray icon (you may have to set it to be shown and/or run the tray app, kwallettray maybe?, first, to get the wallet systray icon), you can open up a kwalletmanager window. Once kwalletmanager is open, you can create multiple wallets, view and remove entries in each, set how long they stay open and prompt for password upon access settings, etc. And while I actually only ever used one wallet, I believe you can have as many as you like, and I /think/ kwalletd keeps track of which wallet contains which information and prompts to open . The option you mentioned only controls the default of one wallet or two, one local one remote, but AFAIK, you can setup as many wallets as you like, from the kwalletmanager window. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
