I'm no noob to Linux, I know that the users/groups sytem vary drastically. It's just - in every other distro (Suse, mandriva, pclos, xandros, mepis, etc) all assign the default user groups when you hit Add New User. Not Kubuntu! You have to tell it which ones. And I'm not sure which ones are the right ones. I'd copy it from my install user, but, that user is an administrator, and I'm not sure which groups are admin-specific. But I'll try that link. Thanks for your help!
PS: Awesome presentation on Wed.

If the need arises, you can launch GUI apps from the command line using
sudo. You can also use kdesu appname from the run window (Alt-F2 is the
shortcut).
There is _no_ need to ever login to X as root. Most configuration
control panel apps have an administrator mode that allows that applet to
gain admin privileges.
The concept of groups is a little different from the Windows world.
Some good info here:

Scroll down to the user/group management bit.
When things break, the CLI is your best friend, even in Windows.
