Yeah but I never claimed it wasn't bloated ;-)

kdeinit is there to preload some libraries and because of the fact that Linux 
doesn't seem to handle the loading of c++ libraries very well (quickly).  I 
don't understand, or remember, the problem very well but it's something that 
everyone from KDE to kernel folk were trying to fix and I'm not sure if 
they've "finished" or are still working on it.  
http://www.derkarl.org/linking.phtml talks about the problems.
