There is a KDE-Users list where this stuff gets addressed. However I
asked the same questions the other day so I'll respond here in hopes
what I'm doing helps you.

This is a known issue for I don't know how long. Frustrating.

From System Settings

SystemSettings -> Account Details -> KDE Wallet

make sure it's enabled, then uncheck everything else except 'Show
manager in system tray' and hit apply.

For me, after starting an app that uses it, like Chrome, this gives me
a wallet in the system tray that I can then click on to get into the
wallet app for management of my stuff.

Hope this helps,
Mark
