Seeing as you are getting desparate, one other possibility comes to mind 
under the category of "don't ask me why" :-)

Try deleting all the lines in the kword and kspread .desktop files that have 
non-English characters in them for the 'name[xx]' and 'comment[xxxxx]' lines 
(in fact, just delete and the 'name' and 'comment' lines bar the defaults).

** BACKUP THOSE .DESKTOP FILES FIRST :-) **

This actually did the trick for me once!

  Don't ask me why! ;-)

Cheers,
Sean
