Judging from the errors I'd assume that the script messed up some files. Reinstalling the base (tdelibs/tdebase) packages will probably help. Technically it might be the .desktop files or (less likely) some library paths (a telling sign of which would be KPDF complaining about a missing part and showing just a blank window).
AFAIK r14-xdg-update is pretty safe to run, but if used improperly, it can indeed do some Very Bad Things. Do you use mixed packages, or are all of them from the same release? Asking because this is a very likely scenario where r14-xdg-update could screw up.

Search for the previous threads with that heading "r14-xdg" or "r14-xdg-update", because that sounds like it might be related.
If you recall, many of us on the list were getting an error message during boot-up sequence, and there were some other quirks that people described.
Kate (or somebody else?) posted something about a dirty "fix" under that heading. It might not be the solution to the problem, but it is somewhere to start looking.
