 But when I'm in KDE, the little load applet doesn't show two CPUs
 (should it?).

don't know about kde, but have you tried something simple like top?
load it and then press '1' to swap between a composite cpu and real
cpus.

 So why doesn't KDE show it in the little CPU applet?

What does:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

tell you?

Having done this several times now, you have to select the following
in the kernel:

-SMP support and SMP Scheduling (only for processors with Hyperthreading)
-Enhanced Real Time Clock (RTC) support
-ACPI (in the power management menu)

Without ACPI support, only one processor will be recognized, as I
recently had experienced.

There may be something else I'm forgetting, but right now the list
seems complete.  Hope this helps.

I checked my .config and it seems I have those set (and running in
current kernel).

So why doesn't KDE show it in the little CPU applet?
