Hey,

I expect that this is feature request, as there was never a stanza for kwallet 
shipped in PAM's common-* files. So far I understand the kwallet session 
opening feature only works with sddm, as the pam module is modified to add 
kwallet (or other login managers needs to add it).

I tried to find any docs about the file format on pam-configs, but havn't found 
anything. Sure I can simply copy and replace the gome-keyring file, but at 
least I want to understand what I do ;) Can you provide a working patch or 
give more information, links to documentation about the needed changes?

regards,

hefee
