this is due to a wrong shutdown... the only way of this to happen is a
forced kill of kde. there's no other way for it to happen.
anyway for what i know of kde sessions you just need to remove everything
in:

/var/tmp/kdecache-<user>
/tmp/ksocket-<user>

and have these directories writable (but if you login they should already be
writable). just in case do a ls -l on them and see if they are at least
drwxr--r--  2 <user> users (this means that the directory is owned by the
user, of group users which has full permissions, while the group members
have read permission and the other users not in the users group have read
permissions). this is the minimum required permissions for kde to run. if
they're are lower (for the specific user) kde won't work.

as i've said before, it's quite impossible for kde to restart a wrong
session on restart if it wasn't killed.

hmmm, maybe you've added the autostart item in the Autostart. verify it and
remove if necessary. look in the directory specified above.
