The "whereever I could find a "site-lisp" directory" part of your
installation process seems the likely culprit here. Are you sure that
emacs is even looking in that directory? There are explicit install
instructions here:
http://www.idlwave.org/#INSTALL
which will put everything into /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/. I
haven't tried this with Kubuntu, but it works fine on my debian box, from
which ubuntu was begot.
For site-wide .emacs files, look for site-load.el and site-init.el.
