This is looking like the root problem (or one of them ...). I tried
listing sessions. logging out and in again, and listing them again:

SESSION  UID USER SEAT  TTY 
     11 1000 poc  seat0     
     13 1000 poc  seat0     
      2    0 root seat0 tty2
      4 1000 poc  seat0     
      8 1000 poc  seat0     

5 sessions listed.

SESSION  UID USER SEAT  TTY 
     11 1000 poc  seat0     
     13 1000 poc  seat0     
     15 1000 poc  seat0     
      2    0 root seat0 tty2
      4 1000 poc  seat0     
      8 1000 poc  seat0     

6 sessions listed.

IOW each login is creating a new session, but logging out is not
terminating it. This definitely looks like a bug of some kind. Whether
or not it's what causes the g-k-r problem is not clear, but it should
be investigated. I'll take it to the KDE list and possibly BZ.
