Disclaimer: I'm not a KDE user, so this idea may be totally wrong

I've seen problems similar to happen when a program starts to early in
session initialization and some of the environment variables and whatnot
that it is expecting to see haven't been setup yet. Granted this was on
Gnome, and a _long_ time ago. But, you might want to see if you can have it
start later in the session setup and see if that helps. As I said though, I
don't even know if KDE has a mechanism to do this, but I would assume that
they do...
