CRAZY cpu usage when running kde

anyone have any idea why two copies kdeinit seem to be using up all of my cpu
power while running kde? i didn't realise this it until i opened gkrellm.

i've also put the first few lines of "top" here:
15344 gabriel 25 0 14684 14M 11904 R 50.4 2.8 421:57 kdeinit
24391 gabriel 25 0 55976 15M 11932 R 48.5 3.0 480:51 kdeinit
24629 root 15 0 972 968 768 R 0.9 0.1 0:00 top
1 root 15 0 512 512 448 S 0.0 0.0 0:37 init
2 root 0K 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 migration_CPU0
after a reboot, NEITHER of them appear in "top". and when i'm running kde,
there's a bunch of them there, but none of them are using such extensive
resources.
what's goin' on?
here's what i've found so far:
it looks like *sometimes* when i exit kde, kdeinit is still running and using
up ALL of my cpu. if i run startx again, then exit kde again, i now have two
copies of kdeinit that refuse to die.
"kill <pid>" doesn't work
but "kill -9 <pid>" does.
one other thing worth noting would be that when i do exit kde i get the
following message on my console:
kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children.
kdeinit: Exit.
*** kdesktop got signal 15 (Exiting)
when i hit <enter> i get my prompt back and i'm good to go
it looks like kdesktop isn't shutting down right, so what is it? and how do i
make it shut down right? does this have something to do with the fact that
i'm changing wallpapers every few minutes? (the wallpapers are on a vfat
partition so i can see them in windows as well).
