So, Is there a glue that works well holding wall
warts back together and has a long shelf life?

Superglue (cyanoacrylate) works well for me, but don't buy the cheap
stuff.
Superglue scares me for something that can electrocute me.
Works great when it sticks, but doesn't stick well to some plastics.
When I'm fumbling around in the dark under the desk, I really, really
want the wall wart to come out in one piece.

Getting the wall-wart apart neatly is an art form in itself. I use a
bench vice (with protectors if the vice jaws are serrated) and try the
wall wart in various positions, tightening the vice to probe for the
weakest part of the joint. Once you get the seam separated at one
point, the rest is easy to gently crack open.

I've never had much luck with that. End up tearing the plastic
instead of separating the joint.
I use a wood chisel to whack the seam sharply. Splits nicely, but
does break a lot of the overlapping plastic. With the plumbing pipe
glue, I can get it back together with reasonable aesthetics.

This is a better method than cutting, because it doesn't wreck the seam,
and re-gluing with superglue will be successful as the maximum contact
area between the two halves will have been preserved.
