well, the error indicates kwalletd service is missing, so I looked in /usr and 
found:

/usr/share/kde4/services/kwalletd.desktop

which contains:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Exec=kwalletd
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=
# It is a server
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
Name=Wallet Server
Name[ar]=خادم المحفظة
Name[as]=Wallet Server
....

what you listed, is a desktop entry, not a service, so you should check your 
/usr/share/kde4/services folder.

(I don't have a local kwalletd.desktop file, and kwalletservice runs fine)
