Look for a file named kword.desktop under ~/.kde/share/applnk and
$KDEDIR/share/applnk. You may have only the latter of course.
And it should contain X-KDE-NativeMimeType=application/x-kword.
(and the one in ~/.kde shouldn't have that field).

If all this is ok, then the problem IS ksycoca.
Tell me what turns out.
