--- Comment #12 from S. Christian Collins <s_chriscollins at hotmail.com> ---
Christoph, I don't think this is the same bug as #317926. This bug involves a
session that occasionally never fully starts, whereas in bug #317926 the
session does eventually fully start.

There seems to be a lot of sleuthing done on this bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983110

The consensus seems to be that there is a race condition exposed by klauncher's
use of the glib mainloop. The workarounds proposed in the Red Hat bug report
(linked above) include:
1) Run 'killall ksmserver' to return to the login screen, and login again.
2) Change the autostart phase ordering of the autostart items (see comment
#93). --doesn't always work 100% for everyone.
3) Patch klauncher to disable its use of the glib mainloop. (see comment #179)

For the record, I have been able to reproduce this bug somewhat regularly on
two systems since upgrading to Kubuntu 14.04. I've had it happen extremely
rarely (once or twice) on my third system. I am currently running KDE 4.13.3.
