SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Manjaro with KDE
2. Connect to a wifi network for the first time
3. Restart
OBSERVED RESULT
When I connected to the wifi for the first time, KWallet asked me to choose a
password to unlock the wallet where wifi passwords are stored. It gave me no
option to not protect the wifi password at all.
At every restart, now, as it automatically connects to the same wifi network,
it asks me for the password to unlock the wallet. It hasn't offered me any
option to avoid this.
EXPECTED RESULT
1) First of all, when connecting to a wifi network for the first time, it
should ask me whether or not I want the password to be encripted with the
wallet at all. For me (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), the wifi password is
not very sensitive at all. I'm going to give it to anybody who comes to my home
anyway. I would happily have it stored in plain text and save myself the pain
of having to use the wallet in the first place. I bet there is already a way
and I'll find it by googling, but I shouldn't have to. The very popup that
prompts me to set up the wallet, should first ask me whether I want to.
2) And secondly, there MUST be a way to avoid having to enter the wallet
password every time at startup, just like one can choose to not have to enter
the user password to log in at startup.
On my previous computer I remember having the exact same issue, and at some
point I don't remember how I solved it, but I no longer had to enter the
kwallet password. I guess I'll google for it and find the same solution again,
but I shouldn't have to, a solution should be offered to me at some point along
the process.
