xfce4 and kde (kde apps)

hi all,
i'm new to this forum and searched for a section to post general subjects about kde and kde-apps, but didnt find any "general" one, also i searched for similar subjects and most simmilar ones are also here, so i'm posting here --- @moderators: feel free to move this thread to somewhere more suitable, if you know a better section

background:
i used kde since 1.1.2 and over time, i cannot without some of the really great kde-apps
because the startup of kde is slower after each release (3.2 is the first one that is faster than it's precursor, but stll too heavy), i went to alternative WM's and am using now xfce4 (4.0.6) as default "WM"
as kwrite, kontact, konqueror ... and other apps are really great, i'm simply used to use them very often

the trouble:
as xfce4 is starting in less than 1s, it's great to use it as default WM (besides, it has a very nice panel and editing starters in the panel is much better than windows "Start" or the kde "K") but the best thing would be to load the kdelibs in the background (while already using other apps), so that if kwrite is run, it would load fast also the first time --- till now, the first kde-app i start while in xfce4 it takes long to startup, but then all following ones are starting very fast

possible solution:
how can i preload the kdelibs in the mem without loading any kde app?

thanx in advance

You could try starting kdeinit
