Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't fix the problem.

After some time spent on trial and error, I traced the problem to:

$HOME/.kde/socket-localhost

Deleting this directory fixes the problem after two restarts of the X 
session.

I have a theory as to what is happening, but need to do more work on it. 
  It appears that trying to view a video with NoAtun or Kaboodle (which 
fails to work) is doing something to this directory.
