I am getting “xdg-desktop-portal trying to access kwallet” popups from time to time, despite passwords being configured in a way where wallet should auto unlock and wallet set to not close automatically. The big issue is that if it happens right after logging in, my browser loses all logins. Per some discussions I found I checked journalctl, but searching the error messages didn’t help me much:
yamiji@bazzite:/var/home/yamiji$ journalctl -b | grep kwallet

The worst thing is that it’s not consistent, sometimes wallet will open properly and function for the entire session and sometimes it fails at a random time, even when I am not doing anything that would require the wallet.
