S=Start service in this run level.
K=Kill service in this run level.

Apache is controlled by the /etc/init.d/apache2 script (if you have Apache 
2, if not, just plain "apache").  However, once Apache is running you 
manage it (usually) with the /usr/sbin/apache2ctl program (again, no "2" 
for Apache 1.3).

The way it works is that during the boot process "init" starts everything 
with an "S" in /etc/rcS.d then it reads /etc/inittab to figure out what 
runlevel to boot into.  If (like all Debian systems) the default run level 
is "2", it then goes on to execute all the "S" scripts in /etc/rc2.d.  So 
unless you have apache starting in either rcS.d or rc2.d, you will need to 
manually start it, or edit the init scripts:

"man update-rc.d" explains it all very well :)

Can't help with that one - never seen it before :(  The only package I found 
that you may want to look into is "kde-systemsettings".  Maybe the 
following commands (from a console/xterm) will shed some light:

sudo apt-get --fix-missing update
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --reinstall install kde-systemsettings

HTH,

James
