Hello Thiago,
Well, at least now we are moving forward.  Using the information you gave me, 
I found "/usr/local/kde-cvs/share/applications/kde/background.desktop"  The 
only difference that my unlearned mind could find between 
"background.desktop" and the other "*.desktop" files I found at that location 
was that when I clicked on it, the application that it represented did not 
open up.
I then opened up 
"/usr/local/kde-cvs/share/applications/kde/background.desktop" in a text 
editor, and found what I assumed to be the command that this file calls: 
"kcmshell background"  I then proceeded to run that command from a terminal 
window, with the following result:
[steve@x1-6-00-c0-f0-55-7c-ff steve]$ kcmshell background
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-steve/ksycoca
kcmshell: WARNING: Could not find module 'background'.

Here is my "/usr/local/kde-cvs/share/applications/kde/background.desktop" 
file:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=kcmshell background
Icon=background
Type=Application
DocPath=kcontrol/background/index.html


X-KDE-Library=background
X-KDE-FactoryName=background
X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol

Name=Background

Comment=Change the background settings

Keywords=background,desktops,colors,colours,images,wallpapers,blending,balance,cache,multiple 
wallpapers,pixmap

Here you will find the output from "strace kcmshell background":

Because I really want to learn, and help you out as well on the off chance 
that there is something wrong with KDE from CVS HEAD that has caused this 
problem for me, earlier this evening I compiled and installed totally fresh 
checkouts of arts and kdelibs in a completely different path than the one I'm 
having the problem in.  kdebase is compiling as I type, so I will get back to 
you with whatever I find out.

Have a Great Night,
Steven P. Ulrick
