To get around tasks that seem to hang around, I've done all the tasks
you mention.  The above is where I've found stuff lurking in the past that got 
restarted 
upon login.

You can generally trash everything in that directory, with the exception
of kgpg_......    There can often be dozens of entries in there, and they
do tend to slow down session initialization.  I which the KDE people would
document these things.  Why don't they write a little advisory in these
directories as they create them?  They think nothing of leaving hundreds
of these little files around never cleaning up after themselves, but then
get all stuffy about writing a little advisory file where you can find it if
you need it.

If i get some hangers-on, I always kill off any tasks I don't want, then do a 
log-out, End Current Session, because I've been lead to believe that is when 
the running task list is saved.

That's just not right...
