Your greeter uses KHTML?

Yes. See m_dcopobject = new KHTMLPartIface( this ); in khtml_part.cpp:353.
Maybe we need a new constructor argument, or a new value for GUIProfile,
that says "no dcop please"....

Sure, we never exit() from KDE code, especially libs, this would be very bad :)
But make sure to call kapp->disableAutoDcopRegistration() as early as possible,
then test if this fixes it, and if not, disabling the above dcopobject 
creation might be necessary.
