    Might you have logged out or shut down while Emacs was running with its
    window minimized to the Taskbar?

    Are you running KDE 3.3? If so, had you, prior to the KDE 3.3 upgrade told
    KDE to remember the window configuration for Emacs? If so, then the
    upgrade to 3.3 caused that remembered window configuration to be
    converted to a KDE 3.3 Window-Specific Setting, which by default sets
    things like window minimized state to be remembered.
