Review request for KDE Frameworks and Christoph Feck.


Changes
-------

A mismatch is now detected as soon as the verification is not a prefix of the 
password. Not only this is better from the usability point of view, but now the 
patch is also much simpler.


Repository: kwidgetsaddons


Description
-------

As discussed in RR 125619 and 126426, the password verification field (in a 
KNewPasswordWidget) should not be marked as "wrong" before the user even 
started typing the verification password.

My revised approach is the following:

* the first time, no "warning color" is displayed at all. The user types 
something as password and then something else as verification password.
* If a match occurred (e.g. pwd = 1234 and verification = 1234), we "enable" 
the warning color. So if the user "breaks" the match (e.g. changing the value 
in one of the two fields) the warning color will be displayed.
* Otherwise, if a mismatch occurred, we also enable the warning color and we 
show it immediately. A mismatch occurs when the password and the verification 
password have same length but different content (e.g. pwd = 1234 and 
verification = 1233).

Testing
-------

Autotests assert what described above. Gif pictures would explain the patch 
better than 1000 words, but I suck at creating them :(


Thanks,
