Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kwalletmanager

The application 'Kopete' requested access to the kwallet, and a dialogue
appeared requesting password. As passwords tend to be, it is natural for
me to type so I typed it in and pressed enter without paying much
attention. At this point, there was a flashing caret in the password
box.

It transpired that the password box had not got focus, even though it
appeared to have: in fact, it was Konversation, which was previously
focused, that still had it, causing me to send my password through IRC.
This could be quite a security risk, since Konversation could have been
anything and my password could have been somewhat more important than
that.

** Affects: kdeutils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
