Version: (using KDE 4.4.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages On each login into the KDE starts kblankscrn.kss application, and show just black window. Why? For what?
did you by any chance configure auto-login and check the "lock session" box?
an alternative explanation would be a messed up power saving profile.

I know, but what you mean when say "messed up"?
e.g., "when system is idle for more than" "0m" "lock screen". an alternative would be "general settings" => "lock screen on resume" and it tries to "do something" immediately after logging in, but fails and only the lock is left behind.
No, I check all profile - all is fine, looks like default profiles.
that's weird. try "ps xuf". is it obvious what launched the process? if not, replace the executable with a script which calls that command and check ~/.xsession-errors after a re-start.
The problem is not reproduced for me in Kubuntu 10.04 LTS release. Probably this bug is fixed after update from Beta to Release version of Kubuntu 10.04 LTS.
