Just log out of KDE.  Then log into KDE.

The original issue was, "how do I run nm-applet in KDE?"

This was just a clarification.  The nm-applet uses the GNOME keyring
to store passwords for encrypted WiFi networks.  I stated before that
the gnome-keyring-daemon was usable by merely starting it in your KDE
session.  That is not true.  Clients (including nm-applet) use the
environment to determine the Unix socket location so they can contact
the gnome-keyring-daemon.  KDE allows you to set the environment for
the KDE session by placing scripts in ~/.kde/env .  These will be
sourced at KDE start up time.
