ok, then do this:

go into /tmp, find any file or directory containing X11, qt, kde, mcop,
ksock or mcop in their names and delete them all. the same in ~/tmp
for all of your users.

( you will probably have to do this from outside X )

and then see if it happens again.

all of them are safe, all necesary files in a tmp folder get re-created
when they are needed. you can go into all tmp's and erase everything
you see.
