We can file additional information when we start troubleshooting, but as a habit I close all apps before exiting. KAlarm, KMix, KwikDisk, Klippy, and Akregator are in my system tray, which must be closed when exiting. I run with one instance of Konqueror preloaded in memory. Most of the kded daemons are running too.

I'm willing to collect data if anybody offers ideas.
