Is kdeinit still actual?

That's an incorrect conclusion. Your premise is correct: the process that 
launches them links to many KDE libraries. But since that launch is a regular 
fork() + exec(), the premise is irrelevant. The KDE libraries will be loaded 
again, relocated and initialised, before the ioslave code is run.

A quick test here shows kdeinit and one ioslave (file.so, that was already 
running) are sharing 2380 kB between them. The ioslave has a total of 548 kB 
of additional private memory that isn't shared with anything else in the 
system.
