Thanks for the detailed instructions. I think that I can clear up the
mystery of the missing kcontrol.desktop file. I eventually found it here:

Terminal commands:

cd /usr/share/applications/kde
ls KConsole.*

lists:
KConsole.desktop

note the capital "KC". Obviously Linux Kunbuntu (Hardy Heron, in my case) is
CASE-SENSITIVE
