as long as it is:
* quality, so we can rely on it
* actively developed, so we don't get left high-and-dry
* gets a KDE/Qt interface to it so app devs never have to see it
* doesn't drag in unwanted dependences
it's probably a better thing to have a common daemon.

do you know how many people work on the daemon currently?

yes, you can count on very few people being interested ... but it's not like
everyone has piled onto kwallet either, right? ;)
