  As posted to kde-core-devel 1-2 weeks ago, the file format of kwallet has 
been changing recently due to feedback at Nove Hrady.  There is no backwards 
compatibility until 3.2.0 comes out.  I do announce in the commit logs when I 
break compatibility, but the only solution is to delete the wallet files with 
the wallet manager, or from ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/* and start over.  
After 3.2.0 I will always support previous file formats.  Before 3.2.0, it's 
just bloat.
