I looked in /usr/bin for their bogus wallet manager, but didn't find it; but there's a chance that some 3rd party non-RPM package has it imbedded, waiting to subvert my account. I went into YaST and marked all non-Trinity wallet and password management tools 'Taboo' (never install), but I wonder what other kde4/plasma utilities are poised to destroy our Trinity configuration? I've temporarily told kmail to store the passwords in its own configuration file. Once I've recreated the wallet file, how do I tell kmail to switch back to using tdewallet?
