Already solved on the KDE mailing list. The problem was that the
controls don't appear until you click on the gray box that represents
your monitor. I wouldn't have found that out in a million years.
So it was just bad and confusing GUI design. The controls once, they
appear, don't actually work (meaning the GUI elements are broken,) but
that's another issue.
Bottom line: "not impressed" is putting it mildly :-/
