Run
echo $PATH
It will show alot of directories separated by ':'s. Then run
locate kstartupconfig4 | grep bin
if the file is not in one of the directories in $PATH, then copy it to /usr/bin.
If it is there, run this as root:
chown username /path/to/file/kstartupconfig4
chmod +x /path/to/file/kstartupconfig4
I hope this helps
EDIT: If this is too detailed, I'm sorry but I don't know your expertise in linux.

if you type this command in a shell:
pacman -Ql | grep kstartupconfig4
do you get this output?:
kdebase-workspace /usr/bin/kstartupconfig4
if not, you might consider installing kdebase-workspace. If you let me know more about the errors in detail, I might help you better.

In case it helps anyone, I was having this issue as well, but reinstalling everything and temporarily moving my preferences folders didn't help. I then tried executing kstartupconfig4 and got a symbol lookup error (qt_locale_initialized).
In the end, it ended up being and issue with Qt, which made sense as I wasn't using the version of Qt that's in the repos. Since I had no reason to use the version I had any longer, I simply installed the latest version in the repos and all is now well.
