Wow, that is very familiar.
We had the same issue with the "Add/Remove Software" being taken out of 
the menu.  We fixed that in SL_desktop_tweaks.

Looking through the /etc/xdg/autostart it seems we have two applets 
defined not to start in KDE.

# pwd
/etc/xdg/autostart
# grep NotShowIn *
gpk-update-icon.desktop:NotShowIn=KDE;
print-applet.desktop:NotShowIn=KDE;

If we are going to fix the one, we should fix them both.
Or, are these items that people are happy not to have in KDE?
