Killing a kdeinit process is like shooting oneself in the foot.
What you talkin' about?? I decided it was stupid to have so many spokes in my bicycle wheel, so I just cut a bunch of them out. And guess what? The wheel still spins just fine!
Ok, ok, it's just 'as far as I know'. And: AFAK, kdeinit is just a wrapper around other processes.
Uh... That was sarcasm. The point being that just because something is incorporated into an engineering design more than once does not imply that it's redundant (or that the redundancy is a bad thing) and can be arbitrarily removed without affecting the proper function of the designed system, whatever it may be (hardware or software, vehicle or computer, etc.)

By the way, you all will be happy to know that the hospital I'm in since this afternoon's bike ride went horribly wrong (who'd have thought that spokes sustained peak stresses when braking?) has internet terminals in every room, so I'll be able to maintain my critical presence here on the SuSE Linux (English) list. Wish me well, OK? I hear they can do amazing things with mangled spines these days. Randall Schulz
