Thanks David,
"Do you have the same password for your wallet as your user?"
Well, it was always my intention for them to be the same, but i have no recollection during / after my Maui installation of having been prompted specifically for a kwallet password. My memory in general is bad & maybe i'm wrong here & was prompted after all, in which case i would have certainly used the same pswd as my user login.
My Maui installation to my Tower's SSD was over the top of my existing Mint 17.3 KDE4 installation, in root, but i deliberately did NOT format my separate /opt & /home partitions, ie, i reused them from Mint.
Given that i did use kwallet in Mint, could it be that one of the legacy files buried in /home, still had my original kwallet pswd, which was then why once i first logged into Maui i was not prompted for my wallet pswd?
Two more disclosures, also in case relevant. My /home partition was in Mint encrypted from installation via Ubiquity & is still so in Maui.
Also I deliberately use /tmp mounted as a ramdrive via this fstab line:
I looked at /var/log/auth.log :
I looked at /tmp :
I can see a file kwallet5_kdemeoz.socket, but no other file containing the string kwallet. As you said to look "After logout", do you mean i need to logout, then switch to a TTY, login to it, then inspect /tmp again via CLI?
EDIT - I believe that KDE4 & Plasma5 are different animals, but as a point of reference, i am certain i could reliably logout then in to Mint 17.3 KDE4 without breaking kwallet, ie, without being prevented from reconnecting to my VPN, without being asked manually for my wallet password, & without it being rejected.
