I am not familiar with the cli aspect of KDE really. Gimme a hint and I'll see
if it's on my system.

Right click on the panel and go to 'configure panel', in 'menus' select
settings from optional menus.

In kcontrol, it's _also_ called "Default Applications"

Thank you. I already have that configured, in fact, and the same
options are in there as are in Kcontrol. So, the Component Chooser is
missing there as well.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Thanks. I still don't have it. This is what I do have (translated from Hebrew):
* Spell Checker (green abc-check icon)
* KDE Performance (red rocket icon)
* Working Manager (red stop button icon)
* File Manager (blue filing cabinet icon)
* Service Manager (red flag icon)
* KDE resources (red and blue window icon)
* File Associations (blue speak-bubble icon)

So you have all the ones I have - except "Default Applications" (which
should have the same icon as the parent "KDE Components"). btw, if I go
into "Default Applications" and choose Help | About Default Applications,
the "about" calls it "Component Chooser". I still can't figure out what
the actual control module is called.
I've had this sort of problem on and off as long as I've been using Kubuntu,
though more often I have entries in kcontrol that actually reflect control
modules that are broken - right now "Restricted Drivers" is one such,
though since I don't have any restricted drivers I wasn't worring about it.

These are the 'kde' and 'kubuntu' related packages on my system (I think it's
all of them):
$ apt-is-installed kde
gdebi-kde install
hwdb-client-kde install
kde-guidance install
kde-guidance-powermanager install
kde-icons-mono install
kde-style-polyester install
kde-systemsettings install
kdeadmin-kfile-plugins install

kdelibs-data install
kdelibs4c2a install

kdepasswd install
kdepim-kio-plugins install

libkdepim1a install
network-manager-kde install
openoffice.org-kde install
pykdeextensions install
python-kde3 install
restricted-manager-kde install
software-properties-kde install
- which doesn't seem helpful as both versions actually run the
command "kcmshell componentchooser"!
The only thing that jumps out at me is that there are no localization
strings that look quite like hebrew to me ('he', right? -
spellchecking.desktop, which Dotan has, _does_ have an 'he' localization).

Here's where is gets interesting. Neither "defaultapplication" nor
"componentchooser" were on the list.

When there are no localization strings, KDE just prints the English
default. I tried starting Kcontrol in English, but only the menus in
the menu bar were English. The tree remained Hebrew.
Does anyone know which file in ~/.kde stores the default programs?
