Probably a different environment when startkde is executed than when Konsole 
runs a shell, e.g. bash reads different files when it is interactive, a login 
shell, etc.

If you run into this problem again, you can use the "immutable" option of 
KDE's Kiosk framework:

http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Kiosk/Introduction#KDE.27s_Configuration_File_Structure_and_Hierarchy

An entry, group or file marked an immutable in a "higher" config (e.g. system 
wide) can not be overwritten in a "lower" config (e.g. user local)

Btw, in case you are interested in a mailinglist for people who maintain 
larger KDE deployments, there is kde-kiosk (very low traffic)

Cheers,
Kevin
