Grabbed the bull by the horns..

created a new wallet (mine was ages old) and found indeed that you can 
export to xml file. Did so from the old one, changed default wallet to 
new one. Imported xml file, rebooted and went through all "blablabla 
wants access to wallet" queries.

problem gone, as another weird problem I had with KDE Telepathy accounts.

meaning that yes, a wallet can go bad. Creating a new was not much work 
though and for now all is well.

Best,
Sinclair
