Me too, Nepal.  But I just haven't taken the time to understand 
Kwallet.  I just uninstalled it when I configured this installation.  
But I think I want to know the benefit.  If it is just a bunch more 
mouse clicks, I don't want it either.  If it requires a more secure 
password to make it safer, I am not sure I want to have to type in an 
increasingly more difficult password all the time.  I have one that is 
37 characters, all mixed up and senseless, but when I am in a hurry, I 
make mistakes and have to reenter too many times.  Learning the benefits 
of Kwallet just hasn't come to the top for priorities for me.  I have 
more important things to learn in Linux and KDE and the such, to worry 
about my personal security.  Anyone wanting to take my bank funds has 
about 2 seconds to enter that account when it has money, cause what 
comes in, goes out in about 2 seconds.  Then there usually isn't enough 
to steal, unless you are willing to work for 2 cents an hour to get what 
I have.
