I did not have that package installed, and installing it does make the 
functionality reappear.

I suppose the question, then, is why the functionality would disappear 
in the first place. I get the impression a lot of KDE programs have had 
functions fleshed out into plugin packages recently, which might some 
very minor issues for those of us who do not have programs installed by 
way of metapackages. For example, I do not have the kdegraphics package 
installed.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!
