KDE is trying to be session-aware as much as possible, and every program that 
was running at the logout time will be reactivated on the next login (that's 
the idea, at least). That's how "sessions" work and that's why skype gets 
restarted --- because you didn't explicitly shut it down before login.

To prevent it from restarting, go to systemsettings -> startup and shutdown -> 
session management, find the field called "applications to be excluded from 
sessions", and put skype in there.

Haven't tried it (I happen to want skype to start on login), but it should 
work. ;-)

HTH, :-)
