Re: kwallet vs kmail, will somebody please shoot one of them?

I've certainly had problems with kwallet in the past.
I see from my records that I last met this in January 2006 (was that
FC-4?) when I wrote:
-------------------------------------
Apologies - I was right-clicking on the wallet in the task bar,
which took me to KDE Wallet Manager,
which appears to have no password option.
But when I left click on the icon,
I get a different window with the same name,
but with a wallet icon on it.
When I right-click on this icon,
I am indeed offered an option to change the password.

I have taken advantage of this to reduce the password to nothing.
-------------------------------------

I don't know if this is relevant to FC-6,
as I have had no kwallet problem since then.

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
--------------

For what it is worth, mine says
---------------------
[tim@martha ~]$ cat .kde/share/config/kwalletrc
[Auto Allow]
kdewallet=kmail,kwalletmanager,konqueror

[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Default Wallet=kdewallet
Enabled=true
First Use=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=true
Leave Manager Open=true
Leave Open=false
Prompt on Open=true
Use One Wallet=true
---------------------

However, I've verified that on my FC-6 system,
the recipe I gave above seems to work.
If I say "kwalletmanager" this brings up a wallet icon in my panel.
If I LEFT click on this icon, a window with a wallet icon comes up.
If I RIGHT click on THIS icon, I am asked if I want to change
my wallet password.
