sounds like plugin problems, which usually means messed up packages.

when you click on the configuration button in the upper left corner of 
krunner, do you see any plugins listed there?

kdelibs/plasma for libplasma (Wallpaper, Containment and AbstractRunner are

kdebase/workspace/plasma/ for the plugins, such as wallpapers/ and runners/
