Hm, I don't know if there are new bugs in the new KDE packages (using /opt/kde3)
which only occur on systems with 32 bit.
It might well be that you've lost some essential packages during the last updates
when the PPA was inconsistent.

You could check the following:
- is the DCOP server running? test: install kdcop and start it -> you should see
  "kwalletmanager" listed in kdcop
- what happens if you rename .kde (or is it .kde3 now?) in your home directory? can
  you work with kwallet again when KDE is using a new configuration? That would
  mean that something is wrong with your kwallet file, e.g., file permissions.

Good luck!
