KDE is a pig of a desktop. To many features all over to accomodate everyone. Some may say that is good and I am glad that they enjoy it but there are other Window managers that have complete functionality to get things done. It just depends on the type of nix user you are. People that want a desktop like Windows can choose KDE. People that want a desktop that runs and is functional without all the bloatedness can run many other window managers that I think can do the job. For one Gnome. Also fluxbox, xfce, Suns new Mad Hatter and a few others. Also who needs all the bloated features of KDE if your using nix to its max by using the shell. Just my opinion.

kded4

KDED4(8)							 KDE User's Manual							  KDED4(8)

NAME

       kded4 - KDE daemon - triggers Sycoca database updates when needed.

SYNOPSIS

       kded4 [--help] [Generic options] [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [--check]

DESCRIPTION

	kded4 is responsible for creating the sycoca file, i.e. the binary cache of servicetypes, mimetypes, and services for a particular user.

       It monitors the directories containing .desktop files. When a file is added/removed, it waits 5 seconds (in case of series of updates), and
       then launches kbuildsycoca.

GENERIC OPTIONS

       --author
	      Show author information.

       --help Show help about options.

       --help-all
	      Show all options.

       --help-kde
	      Show KDE specific options.

       --help-qt
	      Show Qt specific options.

       --license
	      Show license information.

       -v --version
	      Show version information

APPLICATION OPTIONS

       --check
	      Check Sycoca database only once.

USAGE

       If kded4 is called without parameters and is already running, it shows the message:

	      KDE Daemon (kded) already running.

       If kded4 is called with kded4 --check, then it updates the KDE sycoca using kbuildsycoca.
