Reopening KWallets

[frispete]

Hi,

unfortunately, here's yet another issue with kwallets.. 😢

This time, it's triggered by the following steps:

• open kwallet keyring
  • if not yet opened, it asks for the kwallet password
  • if kwallet was opened already, it asks for confirmation of this app to access the wallet (unless you permitted access to this app generally before)
• fetch passwords from kwallet
• force close the wallet (via kwalletmanager)
• when fetching more passwords now, one would expect another request for permission, but get_password() simply fails (returning None)

I found a workaround, but it's butt ugly. If get_password() fails, I reset the backend handle to -1, and reinitialize the keyring. That forces the connection to re-establish, and requests either for the wallets password, or permission as expected. Hence, the kwallet backend is missing some disconnection detection to handle this situation gracefully. connected() does not fit this purpose...

Any idea anybody, how to approach this properly?
