Don,
I have had this problem and here is the the permanent solution.
There is probably a bug in the scripts that write and modify the
/$(HOME)/.kde/share/config/kmserverrc file. This file seems to contain
the session information if you have used the save session option on
logout. The problem is that when you uncheck the save session marker it
doesn't seem to delete the session information so when you log back on
it all just comes back again. If you look at line 6 of the file below I
suspect (although I haven't proved it) that it is thiss command that is
wrongly formatted. The problem is compounded by the fact that there is a
save session option in the kde control centre which if turned on may
save the session anyway with one realising it (irrespective of whether
you use the save session option at logout). The option is under system >
session manager. I haven't tested it but if I were you I would turn off
the save session option there too.
To correct the problem delete the stuff in the file as shown in the
before and after files below:
Close your session and restart and that annoying quirk should be gone.
BTW it took me months to get so cross with it before I decided to
investigate with scant regard for breaking anything.
