Yes, it is a terribly annoying and time wasting program responsible for many 
bad words being uttered.  I nearly dumped KDE completely over it.  AND to be 
even more annoying, the developers of this program keep hiding the controls 
of the program in different places every new version upgrade.  Once you 
disable it (in 8.04 I had to type "kcontrol" into the "Run Command" in order 
to get a tool to shut it off, but they may have hid it again just to INSIST 
you jump through worthless hoops in order to use KDE on you own machine) you 
can THEN remove it from your machine using Synaptic.  Making Linux utility 
programs depend on this program is even more annoying that kwallet itself. I  
think it promoted by people who don't actually have to USE their computers 
but want to "impress" people by always doing something on their keyboard 
rather than actually doing anything productive.
