Hmm, I'm not sure, but isn't this what the "http realm" thing is all about?
If the pages announce the same realm, then the same auth should be used?
OK, maybe not if they come from different webservers (hosts) altogether.

It's encrypted binary data, so I think the only way is to add the feature to kwalletmanager.
This is your opportunity to learn Qt/KDE programming :-)
Otherwise I suggest filing a wish for kwalletmanager, maybe the new kwallet maintainer
feels like implementing it... send him cookies, that might help :)
