Under Win XP, I just started ksimond (using the start menu). A symbol appears in the notification area.  A right click on this symbol reveals several options (Restart simond, Stop simond, Configuration).  When I choose Configuration, I am able to configure a user name and the corresponding password:

ksimond displays the username and the encrypted password

I think that the username and the encrypted password are being stored in a database with the name simond.db. On my computer, this is the full path to the database (probably SQLite):

H:\Documents and Settings\xpprof32\Application Data\.kde\share\apps\simond\simond.db

Well, such a database should be available under Ubuntu as well. But when I start ksimond under Ubuntu (after installing the deb-package), I don’t get such a symbol like that one of the Windows notification area. Which GNOME area corresponds to the Windows notification area?

I don’t find a ksimond symbol under Ubuntu (in one of the two GNOME panels) that would open a window for the configuration of a username and a password.
