kdeinit memory usage on RH 9

[Douglas Phillipson <dougp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This can't be normal!  I have only one command window open and top 
running.  All my RH 9 machines are doing this.  What are all these 
"kdeinit" processes running and why does each one eat 12+ megs of RAM? 
I have 512MB RAM on this system and it's all eaten up by kdeinit?  There 
has to be something wrong here.  I thought Linux was supposed to be a 
low memory footprint so older machines would run well.  I should NEVER 
take more than a kew hundred kbytes to support a shell window shouldn't 
it?  Is anyone else having this problem?  "top" output shown below from 
one machine:
