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.
