       kdeinit5 is a process launcher somewhat similar to the famous init used for booting UNIX. It executes KDE
       programs and kdeinit loadable modules (KLMs) starting them more efficiently.

       Using kdeinit5 to launch KDE applications makes starting a typical KDE application a couple times faster
       and reduces memory consumption by a substantial amount.

       kdeinit5 is linked against all libraries a standard KDE application needs. With this technique, starting
       an application becomes much faster because now only the application itself needs to be linked whereas
       otherwise both the application as well as all the libraries it uses need to be linked.

       The process name of applications started via kdeinit5 is "kdeinit5". This problem can be corrected to a
       degree by changing the application name as shown by ps. However, applications like killall will only see
       kdeinit5 as the process name. To workaround this, use kdekillall (from kdesdk/scripts) for applications
       started via kdeinit5.

       $HOME
           Specifies the home directory of the current user

       $KDE_HOME_READONLY
           Specifies if the home directory of the current user is read only

       $KDE_IS_PRELINKED
           If set, tells kdeinit5 that the KDE programs are pre-linked.

           (Prelinking is a process that allows you to speed up the process of dynamic linking.)

       $KDE_DISPLAY
           If set, tells kdeinit5 that it is running on a KDE desktop.

       /tmp/kde-$USER/kdeinit5_$INSTANCE
