I switch back-n-forth a lot for testing, haven't experienced it.  I'd 
welcome a recipe on how to reproduce this. 

For what it's worth, the "take over" should only occur within the kde4 
session, via setting of 
XDG_DATA_DIRS
in /etc/kde/env/env.sh

unless users' options in ~/.config or ~/.local gets touched or modified, 
which is at their discretion, of course.
