Kile Handbook does not launch from Help Menu

[James R. Phillips]

Binary package hint: kile

After installing kile on Intrepid (i386), the Kile Handbook will not launch from the Help Menu. The error message is "Could not launch KDE Helpcenter: could not find service 'khelpcenter'". Starting the service khelpcenter from the console does not solve the problem. Other kde applications have no problem launching the khelpcenter.
