Oh yeah ... now that I think about it ... it's all coming back to me now.
I did used to rely on tdewallet to keep passwords for my IM accounts, and I
did used to use Kopete for chat, but since the past few years I haven't been
able to get Kopete to work over Tor. It's been awhile since I checked, but I
am guessing that it hasn't been significantly upgraded.
Then I switched over to Pidgin, and tried some others (can't remember them
all), but finally settled on Psi+, which has a lot of nice features, and
works over Tor. But I can't use tdewallet for those passwords.
Might be a good idea to use it for tdenetworkmanager, though; except, I don't
know why, tdewallet has never prompted me for a network password. Hmmm.

Now you have got my curiosity. I was aware that
tdewallet managed
passwords for Kmail (as well as Kshowmail), and that it protected those
apps against unwanted changes; but I have yet to discover what other TDE
apps it controls - or, maybe, what other apps that it can be used to
control.
Please tell us!
The wallet manager tdewallet is what it says to be it manages wallets ( you
can configure more than one AFAIK, but I use only one since the beginning).
So over the years this is what I have (see attached)
Basically as wallet manager is supposed to work it provides interface to
applications that need authentication and gives you the option to configure
how it handles the requests. The idea is that you do not have to type in
passwords for each request.
