Is there a file somewhere that makes the kwallet icon appear in the system tray. I've tried uninstalling and reinstaling kwallet. I can sometimes run kwalletmanager, but nothing I do in there seems to do anything.

I used to be able to open the wallet (still exists on my computer) and see the passwords I set up for sites visited long ago.

Well, KWallet is still working, whether it's not on the system tray. To make it visible on the system tray, launch KWalletManager (press Alt+F2, and type in kwalletmanager) then go to Settings > Configure Wallet > Wallet Preferences tab > check/enable "Show manager in system tray".

Hope that helps.

kwalletmanager does not do it

Thanks for trying, but running kwalletmanager doesn't work. I run it, and it exits without doing anything. Only kwallet window I can get to open is the kwallet configuration menu in KDE configuration. Enable wallet system is checked, but nothing seems to have any effect.

In the same place in KControl, where you enabled the wallet system, check/enable the "Show manager in system tray" option near the bottom.

kwalletmanager again

Nope, I appreciate the effort, but the check box is checked - but there is no icon appearing. I was hoping there was a config file somewhere I could edit to get it working, because the GUI appear to be doing nothing. Mine is broke.

Hello,

one of the kwalletmanagers configuration files is in.

$HOME/.kde/share/config/kwalletrc

You might want to look what does it says there, mine has the following,

Source code

[Auto Allow]
web=KDE System,kmail,konqueror,kontact,kopete

[Auto Deny]
(removed, you do not need to know my wallets name :))

[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Default Wallet=(not default wallets name either :))
Enabled=true
First Use=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=true
Leave Manager Open=true
Leave Open=false
Local Wallet=(not even local wallets name :))
Prompt on Open=true
Use One Wallet=false

and my system tray icon is visible.
