The problem does not occur when emacs is opened without a file, nor when it is called from the command line, in these cases, it just comes up with a single buffer shown (*Scratch* or the file).
It does occur whenever I click on a file whose type is bound to emacs, or select "open with > emacs22 (X11)" in konqueror, or if I drag the file onto the emacs icon on the KDE panel. In these cases, emacs starts with a split screen, the file in the upper half, and a welcome page in the buffer *GNU emacs* in the lower half. By eval'ing '(setq debug-on-error t)' in the scratch buffer, I did get the backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error "Unbalanced parentheses" 6391 9919) scan-sexps(103 9918) forward-sexp(9918) custom-save-delete(custom-set-variables) custom-save-variables() custom-save-all() (progn (customize-set-variable (quote inhibit-startup-screen) t) (customize-mark-to-save (quote inhibit-startup-screen)) (custom-save-all)) (if startup-screen-inhibit-startup-screen (progn (customize-set-variable ... t) (customize-mark-to-save ...)
