Thanks for the information.  I just updated Kde on my other partition 
and got the same result.

I ran kbuildsycoca but the problem was not fixed.  I got a large number 
of "WARNING" messages.

I'm using Xfce but have been able to run KDE control centre previously.  
I could try logging in to Kde and doing something there.

Any ideas, anyone, please.
