--- Comment #3 from pandora <pandorasbuechse at posteo.net> ---
I'm unsure if I'm in the right place and I have no idea how things work around
here exactly, but I wanted to share some observation I made in this matter and
thought this should be a good place for it. Please tell if I should put this
somewhere else.

Rebooting didn't work for me, so I had to poke around a little more. Following
are the steps that worked for me:
- renamed .local to .local.backup
- closed dolphin and opened it again
- a new .local-folder got added
- added the WebFolder anew and got asked for the credentials again
- connection successful
- reviewed the content of new .local
  - folders: baloo, dolphin, kate, kwalletd, remoteview, Trash
  - files: krunnerstaterc, recently-used.xbel, user-places.xbel,
user-places.xbel.bak, user-places.xbel.tbcache
- figured folders kwalletd and remoteview might be relevant
- in .local.backup: renamed kwalletd and remoteview to kwalletd.backup and
remoteview.backup
- renamed .local to .l and .local.backup to .local again
- closed dolphin and opened it again
- added the WebFolder anew
- didn't got asked for credentials again
- connection successful
- in .local: a new remoteview-folder got created but no new kwalletd

I don't really know what's going on. First I thought the credentials were in
.local somewhere, as I was asked to enter them again after renaming it. After
reverting the name, I didn't have to give the credentials again, but the
connection worked anyway. So the credentials could not have been in .local,
otherwise it would have taken the wrong old ones right? I think the credentials
might be saved somewhere else and .local only "knows" where. So new .local
didn't know the place and asked for credentials, but then saved them in the
same place = overwriting the old credentials. So old .local looked where it
"thought" to have stored the old credentials and found the new ones. Does this
make any sense?
