That would be a start.. but the more I think about it, the more questions of
security pop up.
1. What is keeping me from making some malware that identifies itself as "KDE
System" to get access to all passwords?
2. What if an app should have access to certain passwords, but misuses that
privilege to access other passwords?

I think kwallet/ksecretservice should ..
1. not give access to the whole wallet, but only to specific entries (while
giving the user a way to redirect it to another wallet).
2. identify apps by full paths (and always show these in dialogs) and warn the
user if these are user-writeable.

It might also be a good idea to save the date of the grant/denial.

Yep, I second that - having to click a button every time that happens might be
quite annoying.
