Problem 1:
Some applications are very slow on start when kwallet is disabled. That includes google chrome (deb), signal desktop (deb), and ungoogled chromium (flatpak). If i enable kwallet and then disable it again, application starts instantly, but cannot connect to network!
Here is a log when starting chrome with kwallet disabled:

Problem 2:
GTK apps have small cursors, and they are not in plasma style. My scaling is at 125%. Changing GTK themes doesn’t help. Cursors in Flatpak apps are normal (like Kicad).
There was two updates on neon this morning: libpam-kwallet5 and libpam-kwallet-common, i did full-upgrade and reboot.
Problem 1:
a bit better, now apps (chrome and signal-desktop) starts fast with or without kde wallet enabled. Still, if kdewallet is disabled, these aplications cannot use network. here is syslog when chrome starts with kde wallet enabled:

Problem 2:
Cursors are now back to normal in GTK apps. I don’t see hao is that related with above mentioned updates. Also, just rebooting didn’t help when i tried it yesterday ?
I’ve just received new portion of updates but no luck: enabling kwallet helps to run Slack at least, but Spotify still starts suuuper slow(and also produces some coredumps during startup)
looking at the journal journalctl -xe | grep kwallet
I am seeing a lot of errors like
May 12 09:37:39 - kwalletd6[7587]: kf.wallet.kwalletd: “createDLGroup failed: maybe libqca-ossl is missing”
May 12 09:37:39 - kwalletd6[7587]: kf.wallet.kwalletd: “Could not connect to Secret Service”
I created a new user, rebooted and log in as that user.
First i opened system settings and disabled kwallet.
Then started chrome, it started normally but cannot access network. I tied to access some websites by using ip address directly, to eliminate resolving issuses, but that also doesn’t work.
Then i closed chrome, opened sysstem settings and enabled kwallet. Chrome now working as expected.
I tried watching (during chrome startup with kwallet anabled and disabled):
I just tried Spotify, it runs normally on my system with kwallet enabled. If i disable kwallet, it opens black window and nothing else. In syslog there is silence for some time and then it throws a core dump. Would that output be usefull?
