A thread on the Fedora Users list (see:

mentioned an instance of Dolphin being started without the user
configuring it as an Autostart item. I do use Autostart to fire up
several Dolphin windows at login, but lately I've been noticing an
extra one that I haven't asked for. A little research shows it
apparently being started by systemd.
Anyone know what's going on?

I just spent a good amount of time on this same issue. For my session,
I use "a previously saved session". I found suggestions to switch to
starting with an empty session a couple of times, then switching back to
a saved session. Saving a session creates ~/.config/session so before
saving a session I deleted that to make sure there was nothing left over
there. Originally I had noticed a dolphin related file in there.
Saving a session when I had no dolphin window displayed removed it.
However, upon logging off the session, one mysteriously appeared so the
next time I logged in a dolphin window appeared.
I also found dolphin mentioned in the file ~/.config/ksmserverrc. I
tried renaming that (so I would not lose it), then I logged out and
logged in a few times and a new ksmserverrc was created. That, in
combination with making sure there was no mention of dolphin in
~/.config/session and starting with an empty session for a bit and then
going back to a saved session seems to have kept the dolphin window from
showing up when I log in. However, there is still a dolphin process
running no matter what I've tried.

(Now, if I could just get pulseaudio to stop resetting volume to 100%
after a logout/login, and yes I know about flat-volumes=no and removing
~/.pulse so PA can create a new one, but that's a problem for a
different thread!)
