I've noticed that as well.  Occasionally the dialog will popup even when all 
tasks were done the last time.  I haven't bothered to investigate, but did 
figure it was due to the existence of that file from following the list.

I'm wondering if certain types of failed tasks are not removed from the list 
properly..

I don't know that I've seen it on 0.13.94 yet, but then I didn't switch to it 
immediately, either, as I was busy recovering from a failed NVidia driver 
upgrade that hosed KDE, and haven't been on it that long.
