Chrom(e/ium) supports native backends for password storage under Linux
now, and these include KWallet and the GNOME keyring. I suppose this is
completely intentional. See this upstream ticket, looks like they
enabled it now: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12351

I think there is a --password-store command line flag that determines
the backend used by the browser, you might want to look into that if you
don't like the idea of storing the passwords in KWallet.
