My guess is that running kbuilsycoca4 (just once) from the command line, might
fix Brad's problem.

It constructs an index of where to find and how to run plugins, kparts, other apps and
utilities that might be needed when KDE apps are running.  It seems to fix quite a few
problems with broken KDE apps on the Mac.  I can even make my own jigsaw puzzles
now (Palapeli, KDE Games) on my Macbook … :-)  The slicer process would not run
until I had run kbuildsycoca4.

Cheers, Ian W.
