This is a good description of the problem and a bug in my opinion. I could 
reproduce it (Debian 3.0 with KDE 3.1.2), but only when starting konqueror 
from a non-KDE session.
I guess that this happens to you not because of launching the application as 
a child process, but because of the architecture of KDE.
When you start a KDE program from a non-KDE session, some helper processes 
are started in the background, including the kio service for opening files 
with the right application. These processes are terminated automatically a 
short time after the last KDE application is closed.

Please file a bug report for this at http://bugs.kde.org.
