First, the JSSE should have NOTHING to do with normal interactions like 
pressing buttons.  That sounds like a focus problem to me.

However, if you do want to enable JSSE, then go ahead.  When KDE docs refer 
to $KDEDIR or $KDEDIRS, they mean the directory where KDE is installed on 
your system.  For SuSE, this means "/opt/kde2".  RedHat has it in "/usr".  I 
don't remember where Mandrake puts it.. probably in /usr.  So if you want to 
install JSSE system wide, you will have to create the directory 
/usr/share/apps/kjava and put the necessary files in it.

The $KDEHOME variable, on the other hand, refers to your local KDE config 
directory.  This is usually $HOME/.kde ($HOME/.kde2 on SuSE).  So if you want 
to enable JSSE only for you, create the directory 
/home/zippy/.kde/share/apps/kjava and copy the files into there.

Back to the focus problem, though: Can you give me a few site pointers where 
the java applets don't work for you?  Also, what version of KDE does Mandrake 
8.0 ship with?  KDE 2.1.1?
