Thanks Tim.  That wasn't the solution, but it led me to the solution.
Poking around those config files, I found that kopete was listed in
kwallet as "Always Deny", so of course it wasn't getting in.

I don't know how that happened, but it isn't happening anymore.  I
wouldn't have found it without your suggestion.

Thanks
