# Boot sequence:
#
# kdeinit is used to fork off processes which improves memory usage
# and startup time.
#
# * kdeinit starts the dcopserver and klauncher first.
# * then kdesktop is launched, it is started very early in the startup
# process to give the user visual feedback as soon as possible.
# Since it needs a working ksycoca database it waits for a
# "sycoca database changed" signal from kded before it becomes functional.
# * Then kded is started. kded is responsible for keeping the sycoca
# database up to date. When an up to date database is present it sends
# a "sycoca database changed" signal.
#
# * The rest of the start-up sequence is less critical.
