Amazing work, René. Congratulations!

I would be happy to commit both sets of code for you, except that I do not feel I have the right. We are in a Catch 22 situation. The changes for KDE 4 would count as a new "feature", rather than a bug fix, so I do not think they would be accepted. KDE 4.14.x is the last KDE 4 release and kdelibs 4 no longer has a "master" branch.

OTOH Frameworks/KF 5 implementation on OS X is still in progress, so it is not possible to test your work there. I see that you did a "placebo" test on KDE 4 in Linux, i.e. that your changes leave KWallet running as normal on Linux/KDE desktops. Maybe a core KDE developer could do a similiar test on KF 5. If successful, he/she could commit your work there.

Valentin?

Since I am not currently able to build (parts of) KF5, porting of my modifications to KF5/KWallet has been done in source only. However, I have good hope that there will be little bugs to review in this request, given the lack of non-esthetic (formatting) modifications to the current kwallet_mac.cpp and kwallettest.cpp.
