What Kwallet is supposed to do, if I understand correctly is encrypt the
file or otherwise make it not human readable w/o the password for the
wallet.
Very handy for any sort of portable device w/ your information on it .
Especially anything you would prefer not get into the hands of
strangers. IF you look at the wallet files, when it's enabled you see
nothing.. until you do it via password and gui then suddenly passwords
for email and anything else you save in the wallet are readable...
