Thanks Duncan, your musings prompted me to check something more basic (after kconfig services was totally empty) - and solve the problem.
In /usr/share/kde4/services all of kded/ ScreenSavers/ ServiceMenus/ had 700 permissions... a quick chmod to something more sane and I'm now able to put my hand in the cookiejar once more :) Odd that neither kcookiejar4 nor any other part of kde threw a useful error... Cheers, malc.
