"past participle" and "infinitive in passive voice" are both the complement of the verb "want" (as a wish or desire).

As a wish or desire, "want" doesn't refer to 已發生的事實!!!

There is no difference in meaning for the above sentences.
"present participle" and "infinitive" are both the complement (objective) of the verb "want" (as a wish or desire).
Grammar Note: infinitive as an object complement normally describes the intended action of the object, whereas present participle normally tells what the object is doing (or just did).
I think, the best occasion to use present participle as an object complement for the verb "want" is to state a warning or complaint for some action being done or just completed by the object; that is, the negative of "want" with adverbial obviously describing an action in progress.
Examples:
I don't want you questioning my motives so impolitely.
I don't want you calling me (so late) at 2:00 a.m. waking me up.
I don't want you staring at me while I am eating.
