So i've recently become an arch linux user and thus far i've been using kde with kdm as my login manager.
I've decided I want to dapple in openbox, and i've got it up and running with tint2 and conky running at startup for my openbox session.
Now, i've decided I want to switch from using kdm to slim. And in openbox use network-manager-applet (nm-applet) instead of knetworkmanager.
The problem i'm having is when I boot into kde knetworkmanager won't start giving me a kwalletd error. If I run sudo knetworkmanager, it works.
As soon as I revert from slim to kdm this problem goes away.
The other problem I ran into is I want to use network-manager-applet in openbox only. And continue to use knetworkmanager in kde. But as soon as nm-applet is run, it autostarts in both my openbox and kde sessions, interfering with knetworkmanager.
Here are my various config files;

Thanks for the help.

You might need:
exec ck-launch-session startkde

That did the trick! Thank you.
Now it's just setting nm-applet to only run in openbox.
