I've discovered a side-effect. Re-enabling kwallet breaks Vorta (Backup) since
it attempts to use KDE Wallet if it's enabled instead of Secret Service. I
think the answer is to stop KMail from requiring kwallet. I can maintain
patches for my own Vorta repo clone until their developer(s) consider removing
special handling for kwallet.
