Ah! Mystery solved. :)

Makes sense now that I know. I have long, long not paid attention 
to that menu option.

Long story is I'm updating help handbooks. I wanted to discover 
whether the KSim handbook is accessible through the app. The 
handbook is a useless template shell anyway, but I wanted to 
confirm the handbook is accessible somehow, somewhere. Test: no, 
the popup Help option does nothing, the preferences dialog Help 
button opens the kicker handbook rather than the ksim handbook. 
This latter result seems to affect all applets too.

These panel extensions do not appear anywhere in the help handbook 
table of contents (TOC). There is a TOC entry for Konqueror 
Plugins. Perhaps there should be one for Panel Extensions?
