kwalletmanager is supposed to sit in the systray so you can't expect having a « window » by default, not to mention that you seem ,as noticed by nicolas, to launch this app under the root account where *no* dbus session is available by default

Sorry for not knowing how kdewallet works. It all started when I wished to use empathy and save the password to gmail. I entered a password to kdewallet; but when I entered the correct password, I kept asking me to try again.
Then I wished to disable kwallet at together by clicking on kwalletmanager; but nothing happened (no window or anything). I must admit that I was using gnome3.
I also tried to use empathy from KDE4 with the same result.
You see what a long story this is, and I am not sure what is causing it.

Maybe I have an indication. I have checked from the KDE accounts control that the walletmanager has inserted the the correct gmail password; but it still keeps asking for the wallet keyword. But once I got a network error: gmail.com is selfsigned and therefore untrusted. Normally I get no error; it only keeps asking for the wallet password. How do I get around that problem, if it turnes out to be the problem?

If you're using empathy that's mean you need to use *gnome keyring* to store your password & not kwallet.
There's a project to have a « common » way to save password based on secretservice, but the implementation only started (aka it won't be available until KDE 4.10 on kde part & it's just starting on Gnome 3.5.x )

If you don't want to have a the walletmanager keeps asking for the « global » key then you have to have an empty key for it. An other solution (without an empty key) would be to configure kwallet to not ask the password once the wallet is already started by an other application.
