I'm not sure we can do this.

>The empathy auth process works like this:
>* empathy-auth-client is launched as an observer
>* while being an observer, it checks if the account is a GOA account or if the password for this >account is otherwise saved in gnome-keyring.

We would do the following:

> ktp-auth-client is launched as an observer
> ktp-auth-client opens kwallet and then sits there like a like a comatosed potato whilst we display a kwallet prompt to the user doing nothing with the channel
> By this point, if empathy did have the password, we've already shown a kwallet dialog.. and the connection has probably timed out.

Given we can't rely on kwallet being open (and if you are on gnome, it almost
certainly won't be) will this actually help solve anything?
