[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#1036590: gajim: Insists on creating a kwalletd keystore, preventing startup

[Matt Marjanovic]

Package: gajim
Version: 1.7.3-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: maddog at mir.com

Dear Maintainer,

After an upgrade (not sure what the prior, not-broken version was), on startup
gajim now insists on opening a keystore/password store... a "KDE Wallet Service"
window keeps popping up (and annoyingly grabbing focus, preventing one from
doing anything else on the desktop).  Hit Cancel, it pops up again in a few
seconds.

Every time Cancel is hit, the following errors dumped to terminal:

05/22/2023 22:49:27 (E) gajim.c.passwords          Request password failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/common/passwords.py", line 100, in get_password
    return _interface.backend.get_password('gajim', account_name)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/keyring/backends/chainer.py", line 49, in get_password
    password = keyring.get_password(service, username)
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/keyring/backends/kwallet.py", line 111, in get_password
    raise KeyringLocked("Failed to unlock the keyring!")
keyring.errors.KeyringLocked: Failed to unlock the keyring!


gajim also puts up a password dialog, and what I expect is to be able to simply
enter my password in that dialog and hit enter.

If I do manage to enter my password in that dialog, while dodging the KDE wallet dialogs,
then gajim does appear to connect to my account normally --- BUT, the wallet dialogs
just keep coming anyway.  There does not seem to be any way to make them stop unless
I kill gajim.
