1.) I think it is a permissions problem. Go into the administration section in the gnome menu and find user/groups. Click on it, type in the root password, then when it opens click on the user you like to edit. Edit that user and go to permissions, enable the permissions you want.
2.)I just posted a question on this same issue about 5 minutes ago so I will let you know when I find out. 3.) You need to install kdm and kde. Open a terminal, become root by typing: su. Then type in the password. Type: apt-get update. Then type: apt-get install kde kdm. Then log out of gnome and find the icon on the login screen to change sessions. Change session to KDE then log in. You should log into KDE. Note: press enter after each command.(I know this is obvious, but just in case you are *really* a beginner) Also, you may have to reboot after installing kde and kdm, I can't remember. I hope this works for you. Good luck.
