The "Secrets for woodsmoke" requestor.
This is a great system but I think that for the NEW user things could be improved.
The requestor box is fixed in size so one cannot actually SEE all of the text that goes from left to right, this is on a widescreen monitor.
One only sees the first few words of the text.
Because of the constricted size, I tried to expand it and tried to get the mouse to cursor over with no luck, one does not know if the balloon is requesting the "master password"(like in logging on to Kubuntu) or if it is requesting a password, for an app.
I would recommend that
a) the balloon "Secrets for whoever" be expanded in size,
b) it be fixed in size,
c) and that there be a string added to the effect of.... "Kwallet is requesting a password for google...." or some such because people are supposed to use different passwords for different things to enhance security.
And if it is the "master password for Kwallet" then it should say so.... "Kwallet is requesting a master password to carry out this function."
HOWEVER, if this is a situation of it ONLY requesting the "other passwords" because one has already activated Kwallet then again........
The requestor should STILL STATE for what the password is requesting the entry... because the NEW user will probably be in "panic mode" :0 about having to enter all of these passwords that she or he never had to enter before. Just my thought.
After all, a good user is supposed to use DIFFERENT passwords for each thing correct?
