As Derek wrote in his mail, 'Either it records them automatically when you're 
using wallet-aware KDE apps, like Konqueror, or I open up the wallet, choose 
a key of my own devising, and enter name/value pairs as necessary.'

So kwalletmanager doesn't fit your needs I would say.

revelations stucks some limitations which don't cope your workflow. E.g. it 
doesn't allow to define categories other that those predefined. So you 
med-card data can't be stord in revelation.

I had a closer look to other tools and found zsafe wich seems to have what you 
are looking for. The only limitation of zsave is not alowing more than 6 data 
fields per entry.

zsafe
Description: Password manager with encryption
 ZSafe is a password manager.  Passwords can be stored into user defined
 categories. The password file will be encrypted by using a secure RC2
 mechanism.
 
 ZSafe makes a fine standalone application with features such as import
 and export, encrypted storage, etc.
 
 But one of the added benefits is that it is built from the same source
 code as the ZSafe program for the Sharp Zaurus line of PDAs.  Thus,
 you can use the same program and work with the same files on your
 desktop as you can on your PDA.  This program uses the same on-disk
 format as the Zaurus version.

Give it a try, IMO it has most of what you are looking for.
