Premature ctrl+enterulation. What I wanted to say as well is that 'kdeinit'
is part of the internal KDE session startup, and you don't need to run it by
hand unless you're a kde developer. If you are interested to see how it
works, read the above startkde script.

I'll only hint at the usual 'don't run a desktop enviroment as root' dogma :)
