I also use the KWalletManager on windows as a secret storing tool, at my
workplace. The other KDE components I use at work do not seem to use the
kwalletd. Chrome for Windows do not detect kwallet as it does under
Linux. So, AFAICT, Windows users are interested by using KWalletManager,
and this requires kwalletd, which is packaged separately. I think that
even for this case we should bundle these components together. That
would also help other contributors better understand kwallet's structure
and allow them contribute more easily.
