This is just an assumption but I think that the difference is between what is formal and what's informal. When using traditional Spanish, one would use "de que" while in informal settings(especially in Latin America) "que" would be acceptable. The only exception would be when you utilize a verb that requires the use of the "de." For example......
¿De qué quiere hablar? o ¿Qué quiere hablar? = What do you want to talk about?
