[Bug 1275749] [NEW] muon-updater asks for kdewallet password at startup

[kolen]

Public bug reported:

Muon-updater asks for kdewallet password each time I start it to update
packages (from system tray icon when new updates are found). Seems that
it does not require kdewallet for normal functioning. Asking first
kdewallet password and then account password is annoying.

There is discussion that 'bodega' can cause this:

libmuon/backends/BodegaBackend/BodegaBackend.cpp: KWallet::Wallet *wallet = KWallet::Wallet::openWallet(KWallet::Wallet::NetworkWallet(), 0, KWallet::Wallet::Synchronous); 

Bodega is a general purpose app store being developed by KDE [1], and
apparently it needs client authentication. Bodega is the reason why it
opens a wallet. It is somewhat experimental at this stage, so I am not
entirely sure that is intended or anything, I'll ask the responsible dev
to be sure. FWIW though, if you have the bodega client you are most
certainly not running an official Kubuntu muon package or have
unpackaged files floating about, because kubuntu doesn't pacakge muon
with bodega at this time. [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/525020/

Nope. Ubuntu and Kubuntu share the same muon package and that package does not have Bodega support, so you must have gotten the bodega backend from elsewhere (i.e. not official).

Bodega opens a wallet because we need to fetch listings of resources as well as for ratings and reviews and these require authentication. FWIW, ubuntu also requires authentication for ratings and reviews.
