Humm, so I set that, exported it, and ran kbuildsycoca, and magicly its
all back I think. Looks good to me anyway, all the stuff I was missing
seems to be back, the games are now properly sorted etc etc.
So the msg I sent to Rex didn't have the magic twangers clues in it (I
don't think it did anyway, other than that env var being empty.
It sounds like I should put that sequence into /etc/profile somehow.

actually, I rather suspect that since all users but root have that env
set, that if your intent is to run kde as root, add it to root's env
only like maybe /root/.bash_profile or /root/.bashrc
