When opening a new page, the latest Google Chrome (10.0.648.82 beta, F14) frequently pops up a KDE Wallet dialogue asking for a keyring password. This seems unrelated to whether the page itself wants a password.
No previous version of Chrome did this, in fact I'm surprised Chrome has any interaction with KDE at all.
Has anyone seen this? I'm asking here before reporting to BZ.

Chrom(e/ium) supports native backends for password storage under Linux now, and these include KWallet and the GNOME keyring. I suppose this is completely intentional. See this upstream ticket, looks like they enabled it now: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12351
I think there is a --password-store command line flag that determines the backend used by the browser, you might want to look into that if you don't like the idea of storing the passwords in KWallet.
I don't mind it in principle. What I mind is it trying to access the wallet when there is no secure info to be stored in it (these are just random pages, not password dialogues), and furthermore not remembering the wallet password but repeatedly asking for it.
Hi Patrick,
Yes, I misunderstood your question, sorry about that. For me Chrome is accessing kwallet without asking for a password. What do you have in KDE Wallet Configuration -> tab Access Control -> kdewallet -> Chrome as policy? Mine says "Always Allow".
