thanks. There was no entry for above mentioned URL in the 'Form Data'
folder. I had an entry named 'www.heise.de' in the 'Password' folder,
though. After I removed this entry, konqueror does not open the wallet
anymore when I browse to the Heise newsticker. I do not recall when the 
entry in the 'Password' folder was created. It is likely that I once
created it manually because the Heise site was never password protected.
(The account data in the 'Password' folder was for some service located on
the Heise site unrelated to the newsticker.)

Is it really the intended behaviour that konqueror seeks data from the
wallet even if the URL in question is not password protected and it is not
among the URLs in the 'Form Data' folder?

Regards

Christoph
