I've certainly had problems with kwallet in the past.
I see from my records that I last met this in January 2006 (was that
FC-4?) when I wrote:
-------------------------------------
Apologies - I was right-clicking on the wallet in the task bar,
which took me to KDE Wallet Manager,
which appears to have no password option.
But when I left click on the icon,
I get a different window with the same name,
but with a wallet icon on it.
When I right-click on this icon,
I am indeed offered an option to change the password.

I have taken advantage of this to reduce the password to nothing.
-------------------------------------

I don't know if this is relevant to FC-6,
as I have had no kwallet problem since then.

I started it from the kmenu, which brought up the icon adjacent to the
date/time on the taskbar. A right click on that brought up a menu and
I chose configuration.

checking the enable button unghosted the rest of the options and I
chose to create a pair of .wallet files. And while it went thru the
motions, I don't believe they were created as they didn't show up when
selecting the default wallet for that function. I've just prowled
thru the .kde tree and found a .kde/share/apps/kwallet/kwallet.kwl
file, 60 bytes of binary data, and its dated about 50 hours ago when
it last crashed/rebooted the box.

There is also a .kde/share/config/kwalletrc, which looks like this:
-------------
[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Default Wallet=
Enabled=false
First Use=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=true
Leave Manager Open=false
Leave Open=false
Local Wallet=
Prompt on Open=false
Use One Wallet=false
--------------

For what it is worth, mine says
---------------------
[tim@martha ~]$ cat .kde/share/config/kwalletrc
[Auto Allow]
kdewallet=kmail,kwalletmanager,konqueror

And its this section that is missing^^^^^^

[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Default Wallet=kdewallet
Enabled=true
First Use=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=true
Leave Manager Open=true
Leave Open=false
Prompt on Open=true
Use One Wallet=true
---------------------

However, I've verified that on my FC-6 system,
the recipe I gave above seems to work.
If I say "kwalletmanager" this brings up a wallet icon in my panel.
If I LEFT click on this icon, a window with a wallet icon comes up.
If I RIGHT click on THIS icon, I am asked if I want to change
my wallet password.

Which at first seemed to have been stuck in a loop, I had to change it
twice before the requesters went away. And its enabled, so well see if
sending this reboots my box, but first I'm going to save it in drafts...
