I too would be interested in a way to disable this. I think it may be
related to an issue I'm seeing on a number of systems here with 4.7.3 as
well, where several kdeinit4 processes constantly take up 100% CPU, and
don't stop until I unplug the network cable, or "down" the interface.
(It only happens depending upon the network I'm connected to)
