"s-s-o environment" may have been a misunderstanding wording :-) I just look 
for a simple solution how to get the most use out of an openPGP-card ;-) But, 
if successful I surely could write an article for the openSUSE WIKI.

Hm, that's really too bad... It would have been great, if it had used PAM... 
imagine how convinient life could become with Poldi and an openPGP-card: just 
put the card in, log in to KDE, use kwallet and not a single time you need to 
enter a password :-)

I play with it a bit. Unlocking the screensaver really works with Poldi and 
openPGP, loggin into KDE has not been successful so far, still playing.
