Well, the ksecretsserviced lives now in the playground. It's supposed to 
be part of kde-runtime.
I suppose I should do a sysadmin bug-report to request it's move to

After that, I'll merge it into kde-runtime.
Am I correct?

I'd be glad to get it into 4.8, as others would start testing it and 
eventually (or better surely) filing bug reports. That would be very 
helpful.
