I think this is because NetworkManager is really a gnome application.
Here's how I have my laptop set up to automatically authenticate using
KDE...
If you have gnome installed, log into gnome, set up gnome-keyring and
store the key there and make sure it's working.
Then, log into KDE and use nm-applet. If you use the same password for
your keyring as you do to log in (not always the best idea security
wise), you can then configure pam_keyring to use your login password to
automatically authenticate you on the wireless network using your stored
keys.
Details for configuring pam_keyring can be found here:

Hope that helps.
