Bug Description

Since I migrated to edgy, I cannot see the wallet in the systray.
I tried to remove it and once the new wallet it created, I can see it, but it dissapears once kde is restarted...

it seems to be behaving fine for me, are any of your programs trying to use kwallet?

I can confirm on dapper + KDE 3.5.4.

Addition: kwallet service is running and working
only systray icon is not visible.

I've now found a hack to get systray icon back: after konqueror ask for
an password from the wallet, konqueror displays
an wallet icon in the lower right corner. clicking
on it opens an empty wallet window. click once more
wallet window opens now with the wallet(s) listed. After
closing the wallet icon is in systray again.

I've verified this with my account and a new one.

Ah, one more strangeness. After very first login running

   kwalletmanager

open systray icon. Later after the wallet was created
this did not work anymore (also with --show option)

Kenny : Yes, knetworkmanager, kopete and kmail are using it currently.
Kwalletmanager is launched, but I can't see the icon.

Waiting for upstream to correct the issue, I have done a downgrading patch to 3.5.2 for kwalletmanager (kdeutils).
Works like a charm here.
I'm only changing status to "fix commited" for that bug to be still visible waiting for a real fix.
