Okay. I interpreted

however can use KWallet for storing things

as "We send the password to the SSO framework, which then decides where to 
store it." 
So I thought that in e.g. in Gnome, KTp would just send the password to SSO 
which would then use gnome-keyring to store it, and the other way around when 
retrieving.
A bit sad that it doesn't work that way in practice, but well.
