Hello, Frans
In answer to your question about how many desktop files are broken, I came up 
with the following list:
*Help.desktop
 installktheme.desktop
*keducabuilder.desktop
*keduca.desktop
 kleopatra_import.desktop
 kmail_view.desktop
*kmplot.desktop
*kooka.desktop
*kpdf.desktop
*kpercentage.desktop
*kwhatsbroken.desktop
*panel.desktop

All of the above desktop files lack the "Categories" line.  All of the ones 
that I checked from the command line give the same error message that I 
quoted in an earlier message on this thread, about the particular module not 
being found.  But you will notice the ones that have an asterik next to them: 
like I said above, they lack the "Categories" line, and they cannot be 
started from a command line.  But if you click on the file in Konqueror, they 
open like they are supposed to.

Have a Great Day
Steven P. Ulrick
