           Summary: Kmail config wizard retains focus - makes initial
                    configuration on plasma-netbook almost impossible
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 1.99.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at kitterman.com


Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

The account configuration wizard will alway retain focus.  This means that when
kwallet pop-ups or SSL error confirmation dialogues pop-up they are difficult
to access with plasma-desktop and impossible to access with plasma-netbook. 
This did not happen with kdepim 4.4.

The default windeco for netbooks maximizes all windows and it is neither
possible to shrink the configuration wizard nor to alt-tab to the kwallet
access request that is behind it (even if you use present windows and click on
the kwallet dialogue, the mail configuration window still ends up on top.

This makes kmail almost unusable on netbooks.  The only way I've found to do it
is switch to plasma-desktop, configure kmail, and then switch back.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
On a fresh install with no kmail accounts configured, run a plasma-netbook
session, start kmail and then try to configure it.

Actual Results:  
Mail accounts not set up in akonadi because I couldn't give akonadi permission
to access the wallet.  Once I managed to get the dialogue accepted, but I'm not
quite sure how.

Expected Results:  
Accounts set up and working kmail.

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-7-generic
Compiler: gcc

Note: I'm marking this major because although it doesn't cause data loss, it
makes it pretty impossible to actually get to your data and use it.  Without
that an MUA is pretty pointless.
