It could be something happening outside of KDE, but you should probably check 
your KDE settings first.

Open "System Settings".  Click the "Advanced" tab.  Click "Power Management" 
under "Advanced User Settings".  Click "General Settings".  Look under 
"Profile Assignment" and record / remember the active profiles.  Click "Edit 
Profiles".  For each of those active profiles, click it's name and then look 
at the setting for "When laptop lid closed".  Adjust that setting to your 
liking, sounds like you want "Do Nothing".  If you change the setting, click 
"Apply" before going to the next profile.

Hopefully, that resolves your issue.  If not, it is likely some other daemon 
that is taking this action when the lid close ACPI event fires.
