Posting in razor-qt google group or lxde-list@lists.sourceforge.net is enough, I guess. We might have a common mailing list later, but it's not ready yet so now both are in use. All active develoeprs are reading at least one of them. > It is this kind of functionality wanted? re asking the question,what secure > storage system does lxqt want to have if any?

Yes, and that's why I prefer libsecret previously, but that's just my own opinion. Other developers may have totally different ones.

OK, I'll try it ASAP.
