KPasswordDialog

[George Staikos]

I would prefer that this does not go into kdelibs [yet] because it uses the 
Synchronous API.  This is the thing that people constantly complain about 
with respect ot KWallet, and hopefully I will have KHTML moved away from this 
by tomorrow morning.  Kopete, KNode and KMail also need to move to the 
asynchronous interface (which ironically I was asked for multiple times, I 
provided, and now I'm the only user of).  See KWalletManager for how it 
works.  KWalletManager never freezes.

Now, can this be fixed in this class?  Maybe.  It would need to enter a new 
event loop I think.  Give it a try and see how it works...  Other than that, 
I think it's a good idea conceptually.
