invisible window on kde desktop (only the shwadow is visible)

When I log in to KDE I get an "invisible" window on my workspace. The only thing visible is the drop shadow of it.
see here: http://www.very-clever.com/what-is-it.png

I want to get rid of it but don't know how?

these are the running processes:
