I've got an older version of KDE on Kubuntu Dapper (3.5.2), my main menu has an entry for "System Settings". On opening this I see "KDE Components" -> "Default Applications". I also opened Kcontrol from /usr/share/applications/KDE/ , and the default applications is there too. I'm sure i've seen this problem you're having before, but I have so many different distros installed, that it's hard to remember which one it was, but may well have been Kubuntu. Anyway. Have you got the package "kde-systemsettings" installed? This should add an entry "System Settings" to the main menu. Just a thought.
