Is this normal behaviour? Is there any way around it?
This is more-or-less normal behavior. When you change authentication
information like adding yourself to a group, the existing processes
you were running do not gain new privileges, but any new processes
you start up should.
You could have re-execed your shell, or restarted KDE as you did.
