I use KDE Wallet and don't see this behavior so I'd think that it's just
settings.  Don't want to assume that though.  ;-]

Under "Settings -> Configure Wallet ..." on the "Wallet Preferences" tab
I have "Enable the KDE Wallet subsystem" checked and the bottom two
talking about the system tray.  On the "Access Control" tab I have the
"Prompt when an application accesses a wallet" checked and under each
wallet (I have two) all the applications have the policy "Always Allow."
Two of the apps there are Google Chrome and Network Manager.

When I first log in, e.g., after rebooting to use a new kernel, I think
I get prompted for the KDE Wallet password when I use Chrome.  That only
happens once.  I never get asked for a password by Network Manager and I
have it set to "Store connection secrets" in "secure storage
(encrypted)."  However, I can't say for sure that Network Manager uses
KDE Wallet because when I look at the "Applications" tab in KDE Wallet's
main window I don't see it listed in the "applications currently
connected to this wallet" section.

I don't think that Network Manager uses Gnome Wallet.  Evolution does
and I get prompted by Gnome Wallet for a password when I open Evolution
for the first time after rebooting/logging in.  By that time a network
connection is already set up.

Check your KDE Wallet settings and post back what you have.  I agree
that prompts like what you describe are annoying at the least.
