	Well, that's pretty nasty.
	I looked in /usr/bin for their bogus wallet manager, but didn't find it; but
there's a chance that some 3rd party non-RPM package has it imbedded, waiting
to subvert my account.  I went into YaST and marked all non-Trinity wallet
and password management tools 'Taboo' (never install), but I wonder what
other kde4/plasma utilities are poised to destroy our Trinity configuration?

	I've temporarily told kmail to store the passwords in its own configuration
file.  Once I've recreated the wallet file, how do I tell kmail to switch
back to using tdewallet?
