Ah, So maybe the best is to just use "unset XSM_RESTORE".
On POSIX shell and others this work (bash, zsh, ash, ksh), fine.
On csh or tcsh it does nothing (unset "unset" only "local"
variables, unsetenv should be used), but any way startkde is
not csh compatible at all: the current startkde exit if KDEHOME
is not defined. Finally, an error message as "unset: command not found"
is not a bad thing.
