Is there a one-page explanation of wallet (actually I am using KDE Wallet) anywhere?
On one laptop I have to give my wallet password everytime I go to my news account at news.eternal-september.org ; on my other laptop I am not asked for this.
What is the explanation? And how can I stop this request being made?

Could mean on one machine you ok'ed kwallet with no password needed to open it - and on the other you gave it a password.
How to clear the password - in the old days you could delete a file in ~/.kde/..../kwallet/... not sure how it works anymore.

Run kwalletmanager find it in systray (it's hidden by default, may have to click ^ triangle thingy), click it right click your wallet (default is kdewallet) -> change password
easiest thing is to set the wallet password to be blank/empty, which will result in it auto-opening and not prompting next time.

Thanks very much.
I had tried running kwalletmanager, but assumed it was not working as nothing appeared. Didn't a wallet used to jump up in the panel?

s/panel/systray/ . yes, but like I mentioned, it's hidden by default (you can configure it to not be hidden if you want).

I suspect that one the one which doesn't ask at all you don't have a password. I wouldn't be happy with that, but I am security conscious in the extreme.
You could also run Seamonkey which will ask you once and only once, and which has a built-in password and forms management system. Handles mail, NNTP, RSS, etc. Will even track twitter feeds if you want. Yes, that's a plug, I love the browser, mail, HTML editor and chat all in one place.
