Hard to say without extensive testing. You'd have to test it
periodically and make a note of the last app you started.

Personally I'd suspect KDE (but then I always suspect KDE when something
goes wrong ;) ).

Apart from that systematic approach, I can't really think of a way to
keep an eye on that setting to be notified when it changes...

Maybe something like 

while 1
do
date >> mylogfile 
ps ax | tail >> mylogfile
xset q | head >> mylogfile
sleep 1 
done

Not very elegant but you can use that to see when the setting changes
and what the last apps were (kind of yucky, I know).
