I am on KDE SC 4.3.4 from Debian packages so this is just a guess based on the 
release annoucement of KDE SC 4.4.

Acquiring elevated priviledges is now handled through KAuth which in turn 
performs priviledged actions through policykit or polkit (always forget which 
one is the current one and which one the future one).

Maybe one of these is missing in your build.

James will probably have better information on that, he's the build from 
scratch guru around here.

Cheers,
Kevin
