startkde is a shellscript. At some point it executes the programs it finds in 
KDE's autostart directory, which usually includes kdesktop (which you do not 
want) and kicker (which you want)
You can just remove the .desktop files of the applications you don't want to 
have autostarted.

Cheers,
Kevin
