 Actually, kdeinit shouldn't call main(). Search for __KCC in 
kdelibs/kinit/kinit.cpp . The simple reason why the code generated by KCC 
aborts when main() is called second time is because one is not allowed by C++ 
standard to call main() twice (I don't know which section, I also think it 
just simply says that main() can't be called recursively and a pointer to it 
can't be taken).

 In other words, main() should be called only once when starting application 
(really starting, no dlopening or forking). libfoo_main.cpp should have e.g. 
kdeinit_main().
