It seems that those kdeinit processes are actually your KDE applications.
According to this [http://www.suse.de/~bastian/Export/linking.txt, section
4], KDE starts one process (kdeinit) and all other KDE applications are
created from it by fork() and dlopen() to eliminate exec overhead. So all
the KDE applications are called kdeinit.

(I don't use KDE, so I can be wrong.)
