Both SDDM and KDM use PAM for this purpose. Both should work with 
pam_kwallet. BUT, we do not have pam_kwallet for KWallet 5 packaged yet. 
Upstream ported it only very recently. (It is reportedly in the 
kwalletmanager5 git repository.) So no matter what display manager you use, 
unlocking the new KWallet does not work yet.

pam_gnome-keyring is a different issue. That one just does not work with 
SDDM for some reason (some conflict over signal handlers, as far as I know). 
That issue is still not fixed, and so pam_gnome-keyring is disabled in SDDM. 
(KDM is not affected by this one.)
