i don't know if this helps at all, but i have a similar problem,
and the cause might be the same.
if i su to root, and then start kfm as root, then i get the
root's kde desktop on top of my desktop.
not sure how to prevent this, but i assume it is a bug in kfm.
this problem seems only related to kde running on a local host.
you might want to post to the kde list, or check their archives.
