Description: Saves Pidgin (and other LibPurple based) accounts passwords in KWallet (encrypted) instead of the default ~/.purple/accounts.xml (in plaintext). Original idea and implementation (in C) can be found at http://kainaw.com/libpurple/. This plugin is implemented in Perl and uses DBus to connect to KWallet; only works with KDE SC 4.
20 Nov 2011 - bug fix - corrected typo that made the plugin useless with non-local wallets 05 Jul 2011 - bug fixes - the plugin no longer crashes when the user takes too much time entering the password; this also avoids conflicts with other applications that request access to KWallet 12 Jun 2011 - new feature - the wallet to use can be set in the plugin configure options 17 Apr 2011 - bug fix - the KWallet daemon is started if not running. Thanks to Crocket for the patch.
This is what KDE community should be doing. Rather than KDE-fying a lot of apps better integration of KDE with existing apps and libraries will be great. I don't mean that we should stop doing the great work in developing apps. But seriously at some points *standing on shoulders of giant* helps. Any libpurple based KDE chat app?

Someone made a patch that starts the KWallet daemon if not running - bug fix. Thank you Crocket. And thank you all for the feedback and contributions!
Hi, I've created the Archlinux PKGBUILD for this wonderful plugin: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43814 Thanks for your great work.
We always love the stuff like this Its cool to have gnome embracing kde which results in stronger DE for linux
