[Bug 1305307] [NEW] FFe for pam-kwallet integration

 

Public bug reported:

pam-kwallet enables unlocking of kwallet's secret data storage without
having to enter a password on session start.

To get things rolling we'll need to ship a new version of pam-kwallet
(that unlike the present version actually works), add a trivial change
to kde-workspace to hand the startkde envrionment over to the helper,
and last but not least actually add the pam-kwallet helper to the
lightdm pam configs.

Including pam-kwallet will bring a significantly improved user
experience, even if a bit on a short notice.
