kdeinit is the 'mother' process to start many different programs. Try ps aux to see exactly which programs. For example, on mine kdeinit starts dcopserver, klauncher, kded, knotify, ksmserver, kwin, kdesktop, kicker, etc.
The way to see how they relate is to use "pstree." Here's an excerpt from its output on my system: ├─kdeinit─┬─artsd │ ├─gaim │ ├─java │ ├─5*[kdeinit] │ ├─kdeinit─┬─3*[bash] │ │ ├─bash───pstree │ │ └─su───bash │ └─mozilla───run-mozilla.sh───mozilla-bin ├─11*[kdeinit] It looks like at the moment I have 17 of them running! So what. They're presumably doing their thing to make my KDE experience a wonderful one, as it always is.
