May not be what you're looking for since you'll have to redo your 
personal KDE customization etc, but I've had to do this more than 
one occasion after a dist-upgrade of Kubuntu to correct several issues:

1) log out of KDE - grab a console
2) move your current .kde out of the way (maybe also .kderc and .qt)
3) sudo apt-get --yes --download-only --reinstall install kubuntu-default-settings
4) sudo dpkg --force-confmiss --install /var/cache/apt/archives/kubuntu-default-settings_<VERSION>_all.deb

Depending on your situation, maybe only 3) + 4) will be needed, 
but if you want a clean start, do 'em all.

Thanks to Chris Halls for pointing out the 
potential issue of a missing /etc/kderc.
