Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

- VS Code Version: 1.134.0
- OS Version: Kubuntu 26.04 LTS

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Kubuntu 26.04 LTS
2. Install VSCode
3. Run any of the following commands (based on suggestions from https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/settings-sync#_kde):

```
code --disable-extensions
code --disable-extensions --password-store="kwallet5"
code --disable-extensions --password-store="gnome-libsecret"
code --disable-extensions --password-store="gnome"
code --disable-extensions --password-store="gnome-keyring"
code --disable-extensions --password-store="basic"
```
In all cases the message "You're running in a KDE environment but the OS keyring is not available for encryption. Ensure you have kwallet running." appears. Running KWalletManager reports `The 'kdewallet is currently open.`.

This appears to be the same issue as #267932 (which has been closed and I am unable to re-open it) except that I am using a later version of Kubuntu.

I looked at the log files but didn't find anything that appears to be relevant.
