           Summary: Dashboard disappears when KWallet pops up the password
                    dialog
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: cniehaus kde org


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I start up KDE 4.1 it takes a while until Kopete is active. That means it can take 1 minute until KWallet asks for the password. That is simply because of my slow hardware.

When I open the dashboard (using the "Show Dashboard" feature) the dashboard is hidden again when KWallet pops up. That means that for example the taskbar appears again.

One could argue now that the dashboard is hidden (the computer goes to 'normal mode') once a user-action is needed. OTOH I find this a bit confusing. If this is done by design perhaps the Dashboard should reappear ofter KWallet got its input?
