Evo's dialogue has nothing to do with Kwallet but with gnome-keyring.
The corresponding app for managing the keyring is seahorse, which you
can run from the terminal. Normally if the keyring password is the same
as the local user login password, this isn't necessary, but IIRC there
can be a timing issue with older versions of Evo which cause the
dialogue to pop up randomly on KDE. Personally I haven't seen this
happen recently with an up to date system, but it used to happen quite
a lot.
