Yes... well, sort-of, probably.
Typically when I go to start something from krunner (I'll use konsole as
the example), what happens is it finds two things: konsole.desktop in
your XDG dirs (i.e. a menu item named "Konsole"), and an executable
program in $PATH named "konsole". The former should have a "correct"
icon while the latter will be a gear (the generic 'executable' icon).
Most likely Konsole.desktop will invoke the same 'konsole' that is in
$PATH, so it shouldn't matter which you pick. However, the second one in
that case is "run konsole", and the first (for me, anyway) is "Konsole:
terminal".
It sounds like you may be running into something else that happens to me
on occasion, namely, two .desktop entries. In that case they are
probably different (I'd even say there's a decent chance one is broken,
or perhaps if you have KDE3 installed also, one might be the KDE3
Konsole), but without at least seeing a screenshot it's hard to guess
what's going on.
At any rate, there is probably a reason, and hopefully I have explained
enough for you to have a decent guess at why you have more than one 'hit'.
