I don't think that's applicable as the passwd style in use here is 100% 
alpha-numeric, no odd chars at all.  And I was under the impression that 
the kwallet passwd is the current users login passwd, and it is on this 
FC6 box, used once after a reboot to enable it.  But on that FC5 box, the 
users passwd apparently isn't valid as the requester comes back in 30ms 
or less.

That passwd, same as on this machine too, is 19 characters long, could 
that be a problem with the FC5 version of kwallet?

Its been recommended I rename it and start all over. I'll do that the next 
time I boot it.
