When I talked about konqueror I meant kio and while I did notice the post
about khtml, its about a broader issue of many kio handlers like sftp sites,
webdav and indeed khtml.

I agree thats a not so great solution, but I hope you agree that its better to
have two wallet manager UIs available if we end up with two wallet systems.
Or, in other words, if the unfortunate event happens that there are apps in
the main debian repos linking against the wallet libraries from kdelibs4, I
would like to suggest that packaging the old walletmanager would be
non-optional.

I only use konq once a year or so. Specifically for its embedding. For example
if you have a large dir with (text) files and you want to click on each file
and show the contents in a split view on the right side without any windows
opening or closing.
I agree its too unique a usecase to put sufficient time into packaging kde4
libs and all that stuff, but I just wanted to make sure you realize that
konqueror as a webbrowser is not really its sole usecase. It is the hacker-
friendly version of dolphin, in my opinion :)
In the meantime I wonder if you managed to store a single password in your
kde5 based wallet yet. For instance your wifi password. I have so far not
succeeded. Just creating a new wallet doesn't even work from the kcm.
Not sure if thats a packaging issue, a local issue, or an upstream issue.
Thanks!
