If the desktop-mode server is auto-starting, then it will
automatically open a browser window. Normally though, the server
doesn't run automatically (don't confuse my comments with what may
happen when running in server *mode* - you always have a pgAdmin
server, but you may use that in desktop or server mode. In server
mode, auto-start is quite usual).
So the question is, why is the desktop server app auto-starting on
your system? I'm not familiar with KDE so can't really suggest why
that's happening.
