Found the answer by doing what I should have done before contacting the
list, I guess : Googling for the exact error message regarding kded
having crashed. When I did that I pretty quickly found this on an Arch
forum:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107086

The trick is to delete the directory : /var/tmp/kdecache-<username>

Thanks for the fix. It would have taken me quite some time to think of
that, since I have that set to some other location, that /is/ in my
homedir.

(FWIW, my /var/tmp is a symlink to /tmp, which is on tmpfs, so it always
starts off clean @ boot. But some of kde's cached stuff, favicons, etc,
works best if saved across reboots, so when I setup /var/tmp as a symlink
pointing at the tmpfs, I had to figure out which var to set to point kde
at a different cache location. $KDEVARTMP, FWIW. Here, it's pointed at
$HOME/config/cache, which is obviously in my homedir, as I stated.

You could point it to $HOME/.cache which would then make it the same directory
as $XDG_CACHE_HOME

Cheers,
Kevin
