Jupp, same here. kaddressbook, knode, kdict also refuse to work. 
I removed all packages and reinstalled them, also mved the ~/.kde out of the
way. If run as normal user, konqueror is _very_ slow in file-browsing without
using cpu or something, it just seems to idle 2s. Run as root it works as
expected.
Konqueror can't be started from a different WM (fvwm, sawfish-gnome) as normal
user, it complains "can't talk to klauncher", so it seems that its 
kde-enviroment is not starting correctly.
started from fvwm:
kio (Scheduler): ERROR: ERROR 3: couldn't create slave : can't talk to klauncher
kdecore (KLibLoader): The KLibLoader contains the library libkshellcmdplugin (0x145c00)
kdecore (KLibLoader): The KLibLoader contains the library libkonqlistview (0x13c600)

kword needs a long time to start with an empty document.
