   If it doesn't require one to link GPG libraries into the app in order to 
access the database, and if it's easy to obtain all forms of certificates 
needed for S/MIME and SSL (signers, clients and servers), then yes this is 
certainly desirable.  Also we need the ability to store entire certificate 
chains.  Right now I use K[Simple]Config because it's easy and it's standard 
in KDE.   

   However I must warn that I no time available to modify the KSSL code to 
make use of a different library any time in the near future.  The code in 
KSSL is ugly, mostly due to trying to merge KDE with OpenSSL (not a fun task 
in the least!).
