Ok, I found the problem. It seems that openni does not shut down properly. The XnSensorServer program still runs. If I kill the process then openni opens Kinect properly. I found other posts about that on pcl and openNI forum, so I think that it would be useful to add this tip to the wiki. Thanks joq for the suggestion.
