Well, I got the idea of using a separate wallet for network passwords from 
the help file. However, it seems you really can't select which wallet to 
use by a particular program. From the source code I found out that the 
default wallet is used for storing all network related passwords, i.e. it 
is used by knetworkmanager but also by kmail and probably other programs. 
But I don't know which programs would use the local wallet.
