[PATCH] mounting encrypted devices

[Waldo Bastian]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

We already have a mountwrapper in the form of 
kdebase/kioslave/devices/mounthelper.

Why do you need this helper-application in the first place? Can't you use the 
normal authentication framework for io-slaves? That is already linked up with 
kwallet. See KIO::SlaveBase::openPassDlg()

Cheers,
Waldo
