Try init 3, deleting everything in /tmp and maybe /var/tmp, init 5 and then 
see if it comes back. This sounds like KDE cruft laying about and not 
getting cleaned out properly by KDE. Since GNOME and XFce work I don't 
think its X window issues. The DCOP problems used to happen to me in SUSE 
8.x series quite a lot and clearing /tmp would solve it for a while.
