[kde-linux] kwallet/kmail

[Ernie Schroder]

For whatever reason, the kwalletmanager would crash without output so changing 
stuff with a gui app was impossible. What I've done so far is to disable 
kwallet by editing ~/.kde-3.4/share/config/kwalletrc (Enabled=false). Now the 
wallet manager opens and from what I see, I'll be able to configure it. 
Thanks John and Werner.
