Hi Stefan,

I've been loosely following your thread, and I think there is one thing you have not yet tried.

In ~/.kde3/share/config, there is a file named kopeterc  And also, in ~/.kde3/share/apps/, there is a folder named kopete.  Can you try moving both the file and the folder to a backup folder somewhere, and try the Kopete Kwallet functions again?  It is possible that kopete somehow put the full path to kwallet files into its own configuration files, and therefore cannot find Kwallet at the new prefix.

If this doesn't work, simply move your backed up file and folder to their original locations, no harm done.

I'm still missing very important features in pidgin, e.g., the GPG plugin. And
OTR is not really an alternative since it does not support encrypted off-line
