I have a desktop with wireless, due to some cabling difficulties. I'm
trying to switch from "Network" to "NetworkManager" because we're moving
our wireless from WEP to WPA-PSK.

Using Network Manager, I can configure a connection with a static IP
address and things seem fine.

BUT, I want this connection established at boot time and I don't want to
have to manually enter the WPA-PSK password.

So, I used EDIT CONNECTIONS to edit the connection and checked
"Available to all users". When I click "Apply", the "Auto xxxx" has
disappeared from the list of wireless connections.  Clicking on the
network from the list shown my nm-applet seems to create an "Auto xxxx"
that uses DHCP and has forgotten the password.

How do I configure a WPA-PSK wireless connection that (1) is remembered
and (2) available whether or not I'm logged in?

You don't have to move away from network in the first place. You can use wpa_supplicant with network. You just need to make sure it's started before network.
