As I mentioned when pam_kwallet was first introduced, I think it's a bad idea
to unlock the wallet by default and to promote the use of the password as the
passphrase. As such, I don't want to invest my time in this.

But, if you prepare the package and intend to maintain it I won't mind
reviewing it.

Happy hacking,
