24 To me it's suggestive of something messed up in a config file.
25
26 What does your .config/dolphinrc file look like?
27
28 At the level of KDE in general I have no idea what config file/files it
29 looks at when configuring the complete desktop environment but that would
30 be the next thing I'd go looking for.
31
32 I'm assuming (bad idea) that you've done a very simple experiment like
33 closing all the dolphin windows and immediately logging out of KDE?
