Ok, how about this: create a new, dummy user, and log into that account (into KDE, of course). Check that everything is ok, logout, log back in. Is it the same? Do you still see the error message? If the dummy user works as expected, then something in your old settings in ~/.kde.old is making KDE unhappy. If the dummy user doesn't work, then there is some deeper problem and it needs troubleshooting. My idea would be to read the system and KDE log files, and look for errors and warnings. Or to switch to runlevel 3, do a startx, reproduce the error, read the output from the terminal. Or to do a strace or something, to see what app is trying to access /usr/bin/autorun. Incidentally, I don't have /usr/bin/autorun on my system, and it runs KDE just fine.
