Comment 0 for bug 874199

I start keychain in my .bashrc like this:
eval $(keychain --eval id_rsa)

It attempts to load my ssh key and invokes ksshaskpass to ask for my password, which in turn invokes kwallet. Nothing happens at this point. Other applications have no problem accessing kwallet during this. Only solution seems to be to disable and reenable the kwallet subsystem and rerun keychain.

Output while hanging:

This problem did not exist in Natty, Maverick and Lucid.
