Chriss,

Not saying this will positively work but has solved problems for me in 
the past when upgrading kde and it doesn't work properly.

You need to delete all the temp files about kde, mcop, mcoprc, and all 
of the sockets. I can usually do the graphically as root and fix it.  
If you need step-by step and want to do it from the console, visit the 
following url.

Good luck, hope it works for you.
