  I would say that the computer should conform to the user's desires, not the other way around. :) Stuff that doesn't work with KWallet should be fixed. But the point would be moot if we create a default wallet in a more user-friendly manner...

I have not seen this in other systems. I know also we care for security and transparency. Maybe we should reconsider the wizard and use a more automated approach. Thoughts?
  
  
  I would favor automatically creating a default wallet with the user's current password using a "good enough" cipher that we can hopefully all agree on. This would probably require changes to user-manager, or whatever it is that receives the string used for a new account's password. At the moment when a new user account is created, it would not only create the new user account, but it would also create a wallet using the same password.
