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? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
