Hi all, I think orthogonal to the timetable for the GSoC about KDE integration, the question about priority/usefulness of various integration points should be discussed.
For example: wallet/keychain integration is probably something that most users don't really care about. They care about save password storage and having applications gather their credations from there as transparent as possible. In my personal experience the only passwords I ever lookup manually are for web URLs and there I find it annoying to have to look into my wallet and into Firefox. But that is because you sometimes need to re-login and auto-form-completion didn't work. I never have to do that for any of my email related things, because login is handled through protocols and doesn't stop to work now and then. One thing I as a user care alot about is programs that produce data (or download it, which is the case for email attachments) allow easy access to my most common locations. In case of a Qt program in a KDE session that is done by Qt (it loads the KDE file dialog which knows all my "places"). Another thing I care about is launching applications for documents. If I click a link/attachment I want the same program to open regardless of in which program I click the link. Again this should be taken care of sufficiently by Qt's QDesktopServices. Something that does do notifications (which I understand is not yet the case for Trojita anyway), it should be doing it the right way. For email programs I care about using my addressbook. Mostly for lookup of course, but ideally now and then also for adding. I guess nice to have is shortcuts and icons, the latter again mostly covered by QIcon::fromTheme() with icons from resources as fallback.
