Had a similar problem with Chrome just pop up out of the blue. I changed 
the web browser in systemsettings from "google chrome" to "google-chrome --
password-store=kwallet" and ran like that for a couple days, then gave up 
and removed the "--passwordstore=..." bit and voila! I am now no longer 
propmted for my KWallet password. :D
