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.
