The way that libpam-kwallet5 works is that is listens in a socket and waits
for someone to connect to it. Currently the part that connects to it is in the
startkde script that is part of plasma-workspace from the version 5.4.0, sadly
plasma-workspace hasn't migrated to testing and so it shows the current
behavior.
That said, it means that libpam-kwallet5 is only useful in a session that has
the code snippet from startkde:
if test -n "$PAM_KWALLET5_LOGIN" ; then
env | socat STDIN UNIX-CONNECT:$PAM_KWALLET5_LOGIN
fi
And the kwalletd5 processes will be `hanged' in a session without it.
(You can add the previous snippet to your startkde script to fix this issue
while we wait for plasma-workspace to enter into testing)
This problem was reported upstream as part of the code review done before
packaging it and acknowledged upstream:

Àlex, please consider this a friendly ping about this issue.
Some ideas:
- Avoid starting a new kwalled5 if there is one already for the same user.
- Set the environment, if needed, on the first kwalletmanager instantiation.
- Have a timeout for the environment read (1 minute should be enough).
Happy hacking,
