I use tdewalletmanager as a convenience to store

tdewalletmanager didn't start, and kmail prompted me for my mail service
passwords.
I shut down kmail, then tried to start tdewalletmanager, but it would
not start from the menu or the command line. I was able to start it by
using 'open with...' in konqueror on kdewallet.kwl, but though the file
is 1.3K, kwallet manager shows no file tree! It appears that
tdewalletmanager can no longer read my wallet files.
I noticed that the privileges for that file were set to -rw-rw-rw- and
set them to -rw------ in case that was an issue, but that didn't help,
though now I can start tdewalletmanager from the command line.
What should I do to find out what's gone wrong?

I had such an issue some years ago. In my case kdewallet4/5 has "migrated"
my kwallet in a new format, unreadable for tdewallet. In my case I was able
to restore the file from backup. I was also able to open the file with
kdewallet5.

Well, that's pretty nasty.
I looked in /usr/bin for their bogus wallet manager, but didn't find it; but
there's a chance that some 3rd party non-RPM package has it imbedded, waiting
to subvert my account. I went into YaST and marked all non-Trinity wallet
and password management tools 'Taboo' (never install), but I wonder what
other kde4/plasma utilities are poised to destroy our Trinity configuration?
I've temporarily told kmail to store the passwords in its own configuration
file. Once I've recreated the wallet file, how do I tell kmail to switch
back to using tdewallet?
