Thanks very much for reply Guillermo! It seems masterpassword addon uses DBus from js-ctypes to tap into KWallet - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/files/browse/359914/file/lib/dbus.js#L21 - does that not allow us to use full power of KWallet?

There is a jscpp-types which is just some code we can drop into our addons - https://github.com/ochameau/jscpptypes - would you be able to use this to bypass the .SO file? I am super eager to see someone use js-ctypes to use C++ stuff on Linux. I did it on Windows with COM here - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/js-ctypes/Examples/Using_COM_from_js-ctypes - if you have sometime and could try to use this to do KWallet with no .SO I would be so so interested to see that! I would document/blog about it :P If you get a chance may you please try? :) haha
