Are you using a .deb of it?  If so, hit the maintainer about it.

Don't use webmin, can't help you there.

directory-administrator will work under KDE just as long as you have
the right libs, with apt-get should do for you.  It's a very, very
nice tool.

Apache is a piece of cake to set up to use LDAP for auth.

Depending on what mail software you're using, it may fall out of nss
integration.  Cyrus, which I use, requires a certain amount of hoop
jumping, though that should change here soon.

ftp I just don't use on general principles any more.

samba is an interesting one---you should be able to set up a full PDC
running off of LDAP, etc., but I have no direct experience.
