I think the main culprit is Konqueror. Opening an instance can leave up to 4 kdeinit processes behind. As I was also running KNewsTicker, I assume it uses some part of the Konqueror to fetch the news feeds regularly, so that might leave a lot of processes running... I now removed it.
I deleted the contents of temp, but didn't see any change in behaviour.
I renamed .kde and of course session restore is much faster now. I see that I had a lot of things customized. I now customized only the basic font so I can see Greek, and put a nice Wallpaper. Much more trimmed down. Maybe better this way. However the behaviour of Konqueror has not changed. It still leaves running processes behind after closing. A bug?

Kostas & Graham, I just cannot duplicate this process problem. I am running Konq, downloading files, while reading email as well as a few other things and I am not, have not experienced this problem with runaway kdeinit processes. Don't know what kernels you are running or even if that would have anything to do with it. I am guessing it is more to do with KDE than anything though.
Kostas, did you remove any DCOP or MCOP in your home directory as well? Maybe a clean start on all of them will help. You may, as David suggested, have a rogue program causing this too, so shutdown some things you run normally to see if it clears up.

Sorry for the late reply. I had lost your original reply message. No, I don't have DCOP or MCOP at all in my ~/. I have in fact SuSE8.1 Pro installed from DVD and put KDE 3.1 (from SuSE) on top of it. I have a lot of software on hard disk in order to have a look at it. But constantly I am only running KMail and Konqueror, and KHelp and Konsole most of the time. This is enough to have by the end of the day tens of useless kdeinit running. I checked with KSim, but I don't see any actual runaway process that munches up 100% CPU time, just a whole bunch of kdeinits. Slowdown has happened only a few times after heavy usage only, maybe there was a runaway process, but I haven't checked. Maybe it was only the tons of kdeinit that ate up scheduler time doing nothing... I have seen that KDE 3.1.1 was released yesterday. I'll try to update as soon as SuSE has put the rpms up. Kostas
