KDE Initialization Routines

kdeinit is a process launcher somewhat similar to the famous init used for booting UNIX.

It launches processes by forking and then loading a dynamic library which should contain a 'main(...)' function. This both increases the startup speed and reduces the memory consumption of KDE applications.

kdeinit_wrapper, kshell and kwrapper provide methods of starting programs via kdeinit.
