I had the same problem after upgrade to 8.10 Kubuntu. Disabling that service did not work, killing kde4d did not work. Eventually killing krunner having service disabled did the trick!
My hardware is (old): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter [1039:6325].
At least it looks slick :-)
