Hi,
In my customized version (i.e., before deployment) I always set the wallet system to off in the global configuration. One if the reason is that the name "wallet" confused users. They would think it as online payment tools. Besides, I also turned off and removed *all* the kdepim packages in my iso. I tried KMail again (which would ask you to turn on the wallet system) and got very bad experiences. That's another topic and let's not discuss it here. I cc'ed to enterprise mailing list and we can discuss this in both lists if appropriate.
