However, if your sycoca was broken, I'd expect you to be telling me that your K menu wasn't working and that apps weren't finding their plugins.
Will, you were right - my menus are gone....

I rarely use it so I guess I didn't notice until now. so your sycoca idea may be gaining traction. What do I check for it?
As I mentioned before,
check that /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER is writeable, not full, and that the file ksyscoca exists and is not empty in that dir
run kbuildsycoca --noincremental to recreate ksycoca

Will, I came up with an ugly hack that works while we are figuring the problem out. I just grepped kcmshell in /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde and parsed down the list to the ones I need and then just put the list in a short script: #!/bin/bash kcmshell background bell clock colors componentchooser desktopbehavior desktop desktoppath display filebrowser fonts icons kcmfontinst kcmkded kcmnotify kcmsmserver kcmtaskbar kcm_useraccount kdm kdmtheme keyboard keys khotkeys kresources ksplashthememgr kthememanager kwindecoration kwinoptions kwinrules lanbrowser mouse panel printers screensaver sound style & I can't figure out why the system isn't doing it on its own anymore. Could there be a problem with /etc/xdg/menu?
