Summary:                    adding kdeinit to xinitrc spoils panel
Description: 
following a suggestion by Bernard Walle, i added to xinitrc :

  if [ `ps aux | grep $USER | grep kdeinit | wc -l` -le 2 ] ; then
      kdeinit &
  fi

in order to speed up the start of KDE applications.
this has the bad side-effect of spoiling the panel: see shots:
  http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/snapshot1.png
  http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/snapshot2.png
snapshot 1 is the normal panel, snapshot 2 is deformed
by being shorter & having a different (ugly) font.

when i exit XFCE & restart (without rebooting),
the panel is restored to its normal form (snapshot 1).
when i reboot, the bad effect occurs again.

Well, this is really not a bug with xfce, kdeinit simply changes the Xft
values.
