Clutch shudder at takeoff

I've changed my rear brake pads recently, after which I went on a 3 day vacation while my Boxster sat in the garage. When I came back, I noticed that after cold starts, the car would shudder (sometimes violently) as I engaged the clutch. This would continue only at takeoff for about 5-10 minutes until the car warms up, after which the shudder goes away.

I'm wondering if this has to do with the clutch itself, the brake pads, or perhaps the fact that over my 3 day vacation the monsoon season started in Arizona and the dew point and humidity shot up dramatically. I heard that due to the humidity there can be small buildup of water around the clutch, making it uneven. Can this be a cause?
