Hi Ray,
You don't mention if this is KDE3 or KDE4 you're talking about.
The system administration tools in KDE have always been rather Linux-oriented,
and I wouldn't bet on any of the maintainers -- either of the FreeBSD ports
or upstream in KDE itself -- actively working on them. Maybe Kris Moore &
PC-BSD are doing something in that field, since that's a FreeBSD system with
a really-well-integrated KDE desktop, as opposed to the more
straight-from-the-upstream-source KDE that you get from FreeBSD ports.
My guess would be that both of these apps are trying to save settings in some
Linux-specific locations.
After using KUser, take a look in /home and in /etc/passwd to see if the new
user has actually been created.
