I agree Kwallet is really a bad pain but unlike some other distros, Kubuntu 
allows you to completely remove including the config files, just Kwallet!  I 
looked for a couple of days but couldn't find any place to turn it off so I 
going to try to remove it and put back all the other files it took away 
individually afterwords but It worked fine to remove it completely!  I didn't 
have to downgrade to Gnome!!  IF that program is made a mandatory part of 
KDE, KDE and I will part company.  As it is I am staying with 8.04 till 
either KDE4 gets repaired or until Gnome gets good enough to use.  Part of 
the reason for Linux is that it can be configured to work the way YOU want it 
to work.  If you take away that ability, one may just as well use windoze.
