It is configured that way.
System Settings ->

repeated asks
for my kdewallet password
when I launch an

There is an option on access control that literally
says:
Prompt when an application accesses an open wallet
Can I safely
disable kdewallet?
I really don't understand what it is for.
I just

The wallet
allows you to store passwords in a single place guarded by a master
password. It is extremely effective for what it was
designed.
Examples:
reading PDF password protected documents
accessing web
sites that require a password
amarok
kmail/kontact
konqueror
(ftp/ssh/...)
knetworkmanager
The advantage is that the passwords for these
services are not stored on a plain format and that is really a good
thing.
