Thanks for catching that.  I've changed it so the first time you start 
KMouseTool, it is disabled; you now have to manually press the start button 
to get it running.  I should also pop up a dialog box the first time it runs 
to warn the user that they're about to enter the weird twilight zone of The 
Mouse That Clicks ... 

The default-to-off that I just added only applies the _first_ time the program 
starts.  When you close the program, it saves its state; so, if it is running 
when you close it, it will be running when it starts again.

I could do that.  I personally like having the program just restore its 
previous state, whatever that was.
