Installing the policykit package will fix the crash, but since
policykit is deprecated now in favor of policykit-1, there is noting
useful you can do with this systemsettings module. It will probably be
removed from the debian packages in kde 4.4, since it hasn't been
ported yet to policykit-1.

Works for me: "su-to-root -X -c systemsettings". If this still doesn't
work, try "dbus-launch systemsettings" from a root terminal.

PS: Note that this is not the correct mailing list for such questions.
The correct one is debian-kde@lists.debian.org. If you have any more
questions, please ask there.
