I just upgraded to openSUSE 11.2.[1] I use pidgin under KDE 4. I only have minimal gnome packages installed. Pidgin tries to access the gnome-keyring roughly once for each account I have set up (~9). These dialogs have, twice tonight, frozen the entire X server until pidgin could be hit with a kill -9. Can I make pidgin use KWallet instead? Failing that, can I have it simply not use the GNOME-Keyring and save passwords in old (insecure) way? If I can't prevent pidgin from popping nearly a dozen dialogs when it starts, I'll have to migrate away from it, and I'd rather avoid that. The security of the passwords is a secondary concern; I've grown used to my pidgin passwords being stored in plain text. [1] I know it's not released yet, but I already found the repositories and upgraded my 11.2 installation. I'm not using the 11.2RC2 repositories. I don't recommend the upgrade path to anyone -- yast2 entered some sort of empty-dialog loop and had to be killed. Evidently, that hosed my boot system at the same time, I had to recover from a boot-able CD my roommates had. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
