That is correct.  Example.  I open Kopete and have saved the password
previously.  I try to go online with Yahoo IM.  I get a error that the
password is not correct.  Then I have to redo the password entry.  After
I reenter the password, if I close Kopete or logout of KDE, which closes
Kopete, then it looses the password again.  Basically, it saves
something in the password field but it is not really my password.

Bug or what?
