i am using kde 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) “release 6” on opensuse11.2 64 bit.i have used this before with no problem.i recently formated my system and i am getting this since then
Try removing ~/.kde4/share/config/krunnerrc.

actually have zero idea where to begin searching for the file which
somehow got clobbered…i therefore believe the best course of action
would be:
check and see if anyone has reported a bug, here:
http://tinyurl.com/yzxu7gd if they have then monitor the progress of
the fix…but, i’ve never heard of your problem before so i guess it
is not a bug, but rather a unique problem, so
use the backup image from just prior to the format to restore your
system…if that does not work, stop…something is BAD wrong withyour
machine!
if you have a viable backup (how could that be?) you might try to
boot from the install DVD and at the first green screen do
http://tinyurl.com/yajm2aq to make certain you have a good install
image, and then on that menu select “Repair Installed System”…
sometimes that works, other times not…just depends on what got
messed up…or, you could try:
maybe you could use YaST to create a new user, log out and then
into that new user and see if the Alt+F2 line take your input
then…if it does that means something inside your home directory is
messed up (did you delete any files or make any modifications in your
home directory hidden files? which?)…you can can look for
differences between the files in yours and the new user and with a lot
of patience and luck can probably find the culprit but it will be a
lot of trouble…
if all of those fail, then you either have to remember precisely
what you did to kill the system, and undo it, or
do a complete reinstall
for our future reference in the forum i sure hope you will let us know
which, if any, of the above fixed the problem…

well removing krunnerrc did not work.and i do not have a backup of my installation.i never had such silly problems.
so i guess i have to run all application from the main menu.
well i guess i have to live with it for not taking a backup.
thanks for the help and will update if i have any sort of improvement
lost krunner in kde4.1 but only for my account - openSUSE Forums
well following that thread i understood i have something similar
will dig a little deeper
