kdewallet normally stores passwords for web pages and other secure
places (think of your online banking password etc.)

I usually don't see any wallet icon on the kicker bar. Normally the
wallet manager is there if there is an active wallet request, such as
opening your personal banking webpage. Then it should bring up a window
asking for the wallet password.

kwallet and/or kwalletmanager (the menu entry (Settings->Wallet
Management Tool runs "kwalletmanager %u" - at least in 3.4.2) don't
seem to do anything by themselves - both start here and immediately
terminate, so I'm seeing the same behavior you are.
