Description Cristian Rodríguez 2016-02-27 01:49:40 UTC 
Due to buffering, kwallet actually requests 16384 bytes of entropy to the system instead of exactly what it needs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-

Actual Results:  
Requests at least 16384 bytes of entropy

Expected Results:  
Request only the needed entropy to the OS, as high quality entropy is a very limited, global resource.
