Do you mean that with this code, the process is terminated more gracefully than with the qunsetenv solution which e.g. kiod or kded use (I guess they simply die with an X error when Xorg disappears). Sounds like another reason for this approach indeed, although it probably doesn't make much difference from a user's perspective [other than portability of course].

Well, I doubt this method is useful for cases above. kiod/kded might not want to be exit by session manager maybe? Because when session terminates, it is still possible for application like kwrite/kate to use kio to write or open something.

I think most of them (at least for klauncher/kded/kiod) are currently doing the right thing.

kio_http_cache_cleaner should be managed by kio so I don't think we need to worry about it. core-only application could possible leave some garbage behind, for example: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125746/
