I can confirm the problem with `journalctl`:

The lines were created during logins, i.e. initial logins or after locking the screen (xflock4) and unlocking it again.

The workaround I used was to change /etc/pam.d/lightdm and /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter and comment out (#) the following lines (in both files):

#auth optional pam_kwallet.so
#auth optional pam_kwallet5.so
...
#session optional pam_kwallet.so auto_start
#session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start

So far the systemd log is clear of those loglines. A different workaround would be to simply install the KDE component.
