            Bug ID: 346477
           Summary: Marble requires KWallet password to start
           Product: marble
           Version: 1.9 (KDE 4.14)
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: marble-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: exabyte at 3mhz.net

Upon starting Marble, I am required to enter KWallet's password. Since I don't
have any passwords used anywhere in Marble (what does Marble even need
passwords for?), and since I might be somewhere in public where entering my
master password would be a security issue, I obviously don't want to do such
thing. Unlike other KDE software (such as KMail), which is working while my
KWallet prompt is sitting unfilled, Marble simply doesn't start. 

Then, after a wait for about a minute (which is obviously too much to open a
map on my tablet), I am being told that I might opt out to store my password in
plain text. I don't want to do that either, especially when I am not being told
which password will be stored in plain text.

It would be nice, less confusing, and potentially less insecure if Marble just
opens in some degraded mode that doesn't require a master password by default.

Reproducible: Always
