As far as I
can tell, if a file
contains a password (obfuscated) Konqueror
doesn't recognize the file type. For example, on my
system (Slackware
12.2 with KDE 3.5.10) Konqueror fails to recognize both
kmailrc and
kopeterc. If I make a copy of kmailrc and remove the
password lines,
then Konqueror recognizes the file as plain text.
Ah. As Inspector Clouseau would say, "A clue!"
Is this behavior necessary? Desired? The user's home profile directory usually is 700
permissions. Sure, if I walk away somembody could open such files but the passwords are
not clear text.
