I noticed some of these were already mentioned, though
not fixed or
answered, so far as I can determine.
KDM -- won't allow me to shut down, reboot or much of anything else
except login.
Kdesu -- refuses to accept my root password. I have to jack around to
setup the X auth for root using the commandline.
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.
This last one is a show-stopper for me. If I can't connect and configure
on the fly wherever I go, the DE is useless. So, what would you need
from me to diagnose this?
Kdesu does not function properly

Kdesudo does work but sudo is generally not the preferred method for
Debian users
I posted a workaround in the forum:

From normal Squeeze repos, wpagui works better here than
knetworkmanager ever did. It is qt4 but will not also install half of
kde4 as deps. I use "apt-get install no-install-recommends wpagui"
This link is the best wpagui setup info I know of:

Don't know about your kdm, someone else might if you post more info.
Works fine here.
