    Hmm! When I come to think about it, you should check which under laying process that kdeinit has started prior you try to kill the process.

    Done by
    Code:
    ps xa | grep 'kdeinit'
mian@harrier:~> ps xa | grep kdeinit
11185 ?        D      0:00 kdeinit: kcminit
11427 ?        D      0:00 kdeinit: kcminit
.
.
.
    However, it is not that strange that kdeinit has started even though you get going into Gnome, because, kdeinit is started by KDM, which is part of KDE.

    Well, to get rid of KDE, i think you should uninstall everything that has to do with KDE, or it might helt ju to just change your XDM from KDM to GDM.

    Anyhow, if I where you, I would investigate why the process spin off like a wild cat

    You'll change the XDM in Mandrake Controll Center.

    Good luck with the good working Linux box now.
