Description illogic-al 2008-11-23 23:21:12 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75492 seems to be related to this but only by the symptoms preseted. 
The problem is that kdeinit does not manage to launch applications associated with files when these files are clicked. For instance, if I click on a text file expecting kwrite to launch i get a pop-up which says: 

"KDEInit could not launch 'kwrite'.:
Could not find 'kwrite' executable."

"KDEInit could not launch 'kompare'.:
Could not find 'kompare' executable."

On OS X, KDE programs live within bundles. it seems kdeinit is not given the correct location of the executables. 
kwrite for instance would be in kwrite.app/Contents/MacOS/kwrite

We removed kdeinit in KF6.
