Hi,

pam-kwallet brings to kde what gnome-keyring-pam is for gnome.  It offers 
the ability to automatically open your kwallet using your login password.

Builds are available in kde-testing repo, package review is at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1091479

To test,
1. install pam-kwallet
2. set kwallet password to be the same as your login password
3. make sure kwallet is configured to *not* autoclose wallets under any 
circumstances (pam-kwallet only functions once on initial login, it will not 
reopen closed wallets)
4. configure pam accordingly.  in short, add
-auth       optional    pam_kwallet.so
-session    optional    pam_kwallet.so
(near similar pam-gnome-keyring entries) in your loginmanager pam 
configuration.  I added these to /etc/pam.d/kdm for example, since I'm 
testing kdm.
5. profit!
