Comment:
~/.kde and all the files in it is only readable by the user.  If that's
not the case then there's a much larger problem at fault.

In my brief testing Quanta doesn't seem to store them as plaintext but
with some presumably easily reversable encryption.  It should really use
kwallet for storing passwords, but that's a feature request best sent
upstream.
