Are qt4 applications fully compatible with plasma5 ?

Well, this may be my fault, maybe I should install some packages, but it seems that qt4 applications don't behave as they were on kde4.
In my case, kmail says it can't access kwallet (which is very annoying), or when I change notification sounds, it doesn't apply for some applications, and some other differences. why is that?

You'll really need to be more specific. What are you doing when kmail can't access kwallet? Which applications do notifications not work in? How are you changing them? What specific differences are you talking about?

Re: Are qt4 applications fully compatible with plasma5 ?

Sorry,You're right.

Well, when I want to create an account using account wizard or when modifying existing account in "configure-kmail" window, It says:
"Could not access KWallet. If you want to store the password permanently then you have to activate it. If you do not want to use KWallet, check the box below, but note that you will be prompted for your password when needed."

I've installed kwalletmanager but it doesn't work. It opens with an empty window unless running as root which is useless.

About sounds, kmail is one example. I changed almost all notification sounds in systemsettings-> Notifications-> Event source: Plasma Workspace-> Question, Warning, Critical Message, ... but kmail uses the old default ones. Dolphin does the same.

I had problems with theming for qt4 applicatins that solved by using "qtconfig-qt4", and I'm wondering if I'm missing something else too. You know, I'm new to Arch, in Kubuntu things are a little different.

Well, changing notification settings under plasma-workspace only affects Plasma notifications. If you want to change them in kmail, you need to go to Settings -> configure notifications in Kmail. You can also use 'kcmshell4 kcmnotify' to configure notifications for all KDE4 apps.

Yes that's it, thank you. But i don't like double configuration for qt4/qt5.
Do you have any idea about kwallet problem?

No, works fine for me. Try to search for relevant error messages in .xsession-errors or the journal
