Same, that's why it took me a while to notice.
I suspect a corrupted config file to be the cause.
Is there a command to get kde to reload all user settings without relogging in?
That would make it a lot easier and faster to find the cause.

No - log out
press <Control><Alt><F1>
log in as your normal user in the virtual console
type 'mv .kde .kde-bak'
type 'exit'
press <Control><Alt><F7>
login as usual, your settings will be back to the beginning and all of
your old data/settings are in your $HOME/.kde-bak
