When \fBtdeinit\fP starts for the first time it launches \fBdcopserver\fP, \fBtdelauncher\fP, \fBkded\fP and some additional programs specified on its command line in the \fBstarttde\fP script (normally \fBkcminit\fP and \fBknotify\fP).
Starting KLMs via \fBtdeinit\fP is much faster and more memory efficient because \fBtdeinit\fP is linked against all libraries a standard TDE application needs. To start a KLM \fBtdeinit\fP forks and loads the dynamic library.
