Yeah the kdeinit thing does confuses most people who have not read about it...
in fact KDE will usually only start two processes when a KDE application
starts outside of KDE. if you use kio then it will spawn extra processes,
but these are cleaned up when the last controlling parent leaves. these
resources are also pooled between applications. The last problemed child is
artsd... but that can be set not to run in the kde control panel.
one being the main kdeinit that spawns the children and kded. kded exits when
the last kde app exits.
as for apps, if you want portability Qt is the best, not even GTK can compile
usefully on windows. (dont even get me started here, the cygwin hacks and
the win32 port are pretty pitiful) If you want Unix apps that are fast and
have nicer features from the GUI then KDE is definitely the way to go. The
nice thing about KDE is that things will load and exit on demand if they are
the only application running. I have used this in cases when I have a remote
KOffice session, or KMail.
Hope this clears things up.
