Sorry, but then you don't understand kwallet or have not set it up
correctly: I use kwallet for all applications that require a password,
I set those to "Allow always", and only the first application that is
started when I log into KDE will start the wallet, which most of the
time is not Amarok. Once the wallet password is entered, I am never
prompted again for any password settings by other applications using
the wallet.. Also, you seem not to know that you can use kwallet
without a master password :)
