I often have problems remembering which password I associated with any 
particular requirement, and I am not happy about storing them unencrypted, so 
it's a great help to me.

Use the configuration to change its behaviour.  I keep it open all the time 
I'm logged in and working.  The tray icon makes it easy to close if the 
machine is insecure at any time.

Right-click on the tray icon - Configure KWallet.  Couldn't be easier.

In most distros you don't even need to start using it unless you choose to.  
Properly configured - and that is so simple - it is no nuisance at all and a 
great help.

If a distro defaults to using it, then you probably have to go into kcontrol 
to manage the wallet.  If you enable the tray icon there you would have full 
control.
