My apologies for not getting back to you earlier --- I was out of town. The fix noted in 278471 did not work for me. However, the "killall krunner" fix worked perfectly. I'd also like to share some additional information that may prove helpful in debugging this issue. I noticed that when I attempted to restart krunner (after applying the killall command) I received the following output from the terminal
sudo krunner Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-ubuntu" is owned by uid 999 instead of uid 0.
