unless you are planning on doing a lot of portrait work indoors, the kit lens is fine. obviously it isnt the best optically, but the wide angel side makes it very useful outdoors.
As long as your arent taking pictures of people or animals inside with the kit lens, a 30 dollar tripod will solve your problems.
And it isn't just the lack of AF on the D40, it is also the lack of AF points on the camera... having only 3 points is supposed to make focusing on moving objects somewhat difficult (I cant confirm this since I havent used the camera).
Bottom line, you aren't going to buy a crappy DSLR. Every company and model has its own advantages and disadvantages.
