The problem is, there isn't such a beast on this machine.  It is whatever 
that after starting kmail, pops up and asks for my user pw, when I send the 
first mail after the start.  It doesn't grab focus so you wind up typing 
blind until the click once to wake the rf mouse up so you can see the 
pointer move, find the requester and click once on it.  That is kwallet, 
but a fairly diligent search fails to find a configurater for it.

Cheers, Gene
