There are two ways you can handle the server when the session exits. You can send it SIGHUP which makes it do a "server reset", which in theory resets it to the way it would be right after it starts. Or, you can send it SIGTERM and have it exit, and then start a new one. KDM has an option to set which you want to do.
There have been times in the past where server reset didn't work properly. The other reason is that it limits the memory growth, in case there is some kind of leak. My personal belief is that always starting a new one is a perfectly fine technique, because it doesn't take that long and it is only done once per time someone logs in.
