You could try adding
 KApplication::disableAutoDcopRegistration();
before KCmdLineArgs::init and KApplication constructor.

However KHTML needs to launch kioslaves in order to get data from the network, 
and kioslaves are launched by kdeinit, so you need kdeinit.
Unless you add
 setenv( "KDE_FORK_SLAVES", "yes", true );
so that your application forks its own slaves. Then kdeinit shouldn't be required.

Well, that is, until you need kded's kcookiejar for cookie handling, or the password server, etc....
