You have me convinced, so how do I get it reinstalled.  After I 
reinstalled kwallet, I could not find it.  It is not in Kmenu.  I don't 
know how to use the shell, but I did try.  I typed in kwallet and it did 
not exist.  I tried kdewallet, same response.  I have already forgot how 
I did it, however I found it using 'locate' but could not understand how 
to get any of the items listed to open in a gui where I am more 
comfortable.  Can you help me with this new problem?
