Two solutions: 
1) you could add API to kwallet so that one can pass the name that they want 
to use.
2) Or if you don't want that, we could use KGlobal::activeInstance() instead, 
it is meant to be "the currently active instance", e.g. the active kpart in 
konqueror. But this seems like hard-to-control black magic compared to the 
simple solution 1.
