This might be slightly off-topic, but I hope someone has an idea:

When opening a KDE session, I've always liked to let KDE relaunch every program that was running in the previous session. However, as more and more programs rely on KDE Wallet, this has caused me a problem.

I have my gpg setup using kdewallet + gnupg + yubiKey setup as described by DrDuh(1).

Everything is fine when it's up and running, but as KDE Wallet is required by many of the programs I use, it's essential that I enter the PIN quite early in the login sequence. Perhaps even before the login splash screen times out. If I don't manage to enter the PIN for opening GPG/KDE Wallet before the next program launches in front of Pinentry, there is no chance of accessing Pinentry before it or the program that calls it times out. I could try using something like Alt+Tab to bring Pinentry back to the front, but then the next program launches in front and the process repeats, ultimately leaving me with a pile of pop-ups complaining that GPG has not been opened.

I've searched through the options in the PIN entry program for a "stay on top" option, not finding any - also tried to add an extended time to the gpg-agent.conf file, but it didn't help.

Do you have any ideas, or should I give up on the KDE relaunch feature?
