I didn't express myself correctly, for sure KWallet should be used by default 
without asking. I wanted to say that if KWallet isn't available, I may want to 
be asked for each password separately to store it in plain-text or not at all. 
(because some of them may be more valuable)

(but this is not a big deal, I won't oppose merging even if this little thing 
is not implemented)
