Thanks, I understand it better now. Assuming it was also possible to 
get
a list of the authorized applications, I created a new revision of the
mockups which show the list of currently connected applications as well
as the list of authorized applications:

http://agateau.com/tmp/kwalletmanager/3/

I think it is good to create a separate tab for those because this way
the application can provide an explanation of the list(s). Being not
intimate with the way KWalletManager works, I didn't understand what 
the
"Disconnect" button would do. This may happen to others as well :)

It's worth asking however if users really need a list of the
applications currently accessing the wallet. I have the feeling users
are more concerned about which applications are allowed to read their
wallet than which applications are currently doing so, but maybe I am
missing a situation in which one would want to disconnect applications?
