I found the config-file here file:/home/bernd/.kde/share/config
Mine looks like:

[B3Fu.jMD4qdZ1wT8]
PopupDone=true

[B3Fu.vRFSrGVl6DA]
PopupDone=true

[General]
Autostart=false
FirstStart=false

[UpdateMessages]
LastChecked=2003,7,6,22,29,5

[YouWatcher]
CheckEnabled=false
LastCheckDate=2003,7,12,13,19,8
LastCheckResult=0
Network=direct

[_+Pw.HZY6o4sq7Q9]
PopupDone=true

I would guess, that in [General] Autostart=false would be your solution.

Cheers,
Bernd
