Okay, after some exploration, I have discovered that the file
(QSPresetAllApplications.qsindex) located at:
~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver/Indexes/
I discovered the apps that I listed in my first post all had entries
like the code I have included below.
I quit QS, renamed the ~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver directory,
restarted the app and it was fine.
Still not sure how I did it though. Any ideas?
Snipped entry from QSPresetAllApplications.qsindex:
<dict>
<key>class</key>
<string>QSObject</string>
<key>data</key>
