The dialog is suppressed if a default action has been set. You can
change this in Control Center > Peripherals > Storage Media. Also
check if all three options in the "Advanced" tab are selected.
Another important condition is that the Media Manager and the Media
Notifier Daemon are running. You can see this from the KDE Components >
Service Manager tab in the Control Center. The device icons are
controlled by CC > Desktop > Behavior > Device Icons.
You said already that removing your whole ~/.kde directory did not help
to restore the previous behavior, so it is unlikely that changing any
individual setting will fix it. Seeing whether certain options are
available at all might nevertheless give us a clue which piece of the
puzzle is missing.

Running
lshal --monitor
and then inserting a CD or a USB-stick might turn up something.
