After finally discovering that if I killed kwin_x11 in plasma desktop, I 
could start iceweasel fine then restart kwin_x11, I also learned that 
using <alt>F2 could start an application using krunner (and that launced 
iceweasel successfully when kwin_x11 was running).

This seems to narrow the problem down to package kinit (bug reported as 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806213 ), although I 
wonder what kwin_x11 has to do with things.
