When I start telepathy, kwallet ask me to enter password for each account I've add. So I want to start kwalletmanager to find some helful settings.

But kwalletmanager cannot start. When I type kwalletmanager in konsole, it print out:

QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

Same issue on Mageia 2 x86_64.

Starting kwalletmanager from terminal gives: 
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.
Application may misbehave.

Application does not start.

But I have only one account in telepathy and have to enter my kwalletmanager password THREE times before I can go online.

This is a know KDE bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297020
Annoying error message on startup: QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2012-06-15 04:07:38 CEST

Try running "kwalletmanager --show", then check the settings to ensure
the subsystem is enabled.

Comment 4 Bert Aerts 2012-06-15 21:18:43 CEST

Thanks for the hint. Indeed
kwalletmanager --show
starts the wallet manager.

[bert@Dell1720Mageia2 ~]$ kwalletmanager --show
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)

Configuration of telepathy in the manager seems fine.
But still I need to enter my kwallet password THREE times before telepathy connects my google talk account...

it is good configured ? (sorry I don't know how works kde sine the v4 :) )

In the KDE Wallet Manager windows, choose Settings --> Config Wallet --> Untick "Close when last application stops using it".

With this config, I only have to enter password one.

Thanks !

So this is not a bug.

I do not agree!

Fact that you can only start kwalletmanager with the option --show should be considered as a bug.

Comment 10 Dave Hodgins 2012-06-24 02:29:17 CEST

The upstream default for kwalletmanager is to hide the icon, when
no wallets are open.

Without the option, it does start, but doesn't show, until a
wallet is open, as intended.

With the option. it does show.  It's a configuration choice.  You
may disagree with the upstream developers about what the default
should be (I do), but that doesn't make it a bug.

Thanks for the explanation.
I now agree it is not a bug.

I indeed found that starting kdewalletmanager from the KDE start menu, does not show something, but it becomes available in the hidden icons, and can be opened from there.

Thanks.
