Do you have KDE2.2.1 from the Caldera RPMs?
If so, you're most likely missing the kdesud daemon which was not 
included in the kdebase package from the Caldera RPMs.
I compiled mine from the kdebase source, downloaded from ftp.kde.org.

The procedure is something like:
Download kdebase
untar
cd <directory the untarred source went to>
make
cp <path-to>/kdesud /opt/kde2/bin (as root)
No need to 'make install'

Guess I could write this down in all the gory detail and submit it as a 
StepXStep... Then again, I should probly wait 'til KDE2.2.2 comes out to 
see if it's still required.

HTH,
Tim
