My primary issue:

* ksecrets seems to not fully implement the 
org.freedesktop.Secret.Service dbus interface.  In particular, I can't 
get any application that functions with gnome-keyring to function 
properly when ksecrets is installed.  similar to:
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/ksecretservice-devel/2012-March/000141.html

apps just report: "No such method 'ReadAlias' in interface 
'org.freedesktop.Secret.Service' ...

I can't find any open bug at the moment, will file one shortly if my 
continued searches are fruitless.

Another smaller issue:
* a crash in ksecrets' test suite:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296493
with no reply yet.

Without any positive feedback on either issue, it seems to me that 
ksecrets is doing more harm than good atm, and removing from 4.9 should 
be considered.
