I still use GNOME for certain purposes, so that's not an option right now.
I didn't setup sudo because I hate it, and I never need kdesudo. I'm
hoping someone can find out why kdesu won't accept the root password when
I need to configure something which requires Admin mode.
KNetworkManager shows both the wired and wifi, but won't allow me to use
them. The interface comes up and is locked, in the sense it doesn't react
to the mouse. And I can't get into Admin mode because kdesu won't work.

I noticed this when installing with KDE4 already there. I didn't try
with a preinstalled GNOME or LXDE. I fixed it by doing a minimal
install of Debian with no gui, then installing via apt-get. Kdesu --
refuses to accept my root password. I have to jack around to
setup the X auth for root using the commandline.
Does kdesudo work? If you selected to turn off root logins when
installing, kdesu may not work. KWifiManager
-- If I launch from the commandline as root, it does find a
network, but the wrong one. I can't get it to let me select my in-home
wifi connection. It lists it for a scan, but I see no means to make it
select it. From my user account, I can't do anything with it at all.
I didn't have a chance to configure a network (my hard disk died soon
after I installed Debian), but if Debian has NetworkManager, you might
be able to use KNetworkManager. It will at least support WPA(1/2) if
you have the wpa_supplicant service started, but KWifi doesn't.
