Did you run the help in grip? I think what may be happening here is that the help uses nautilus as help viewer, and nautilus then proceeds to draw the desktop.
Now, that you mention it, I remember. Yes! I wasn't running 'grip', but 'gnucash', and when I got a problem, I invoked 'help'. That was the end of KDE. A few days later, I gave 'gnucash' another try; when, again, I invoked 'help', KDE got shoved off. The worst part is that, when 'Nautilus' takes over, it does for good, even after a reboot. The only way I found to get KDE back was to delete 'Nautilus' from /home.
It should be enough to kill nautilus before you log out, using "save session". KDE's session handling will then not start it up again.

Something that you might want to do to avoid this whole difficulty in the future is to simply disable having Nautilus draw your desktop. To do this, launch Nautilus, click on Edit>Preferences>Desktop & Trash, and then uncheck the box that says "Use Nautilus to draw the desktop". After that, just click on okay, and you should be all set hth, Kevin
