none of my kde applications see kwallet

I've just installed KDE3.4 on my new shiny athlon64 and while everything else
seems to be working fine... except that Konqueror and Kmail don't seem to
acknowledge the existence of my Kwallet.  When I edit my account settings in
Kmail and select "Store Password" and hit "ok, ok" I get this:

  KWallet is not available. It is strongly recommended to use KWallet for
  managing your passwords.

  However, KMail can store the password in its configuration file instead. The
  password is stored in an obfuscated format, but should not be considered
  secure from decryption efforts if access to the configuration file is
  obtained.

...But Kwallet is running.  It's right there in the system tray.  If I open
it, there's nothing there though.

I've installed from broken down Gentoo packages, (that is to say, 
"kwalletmanager"
was one package, kmail another.) and while everything else works this is
quite annoying.  suggestions?

Note: I don't think the packages themselves are broken, since they work just 
fine on my other athlon-tbird box.
