    1. Is there any damage in startkde of running 
kdetcompmgr as a background
  task? 
 Yes

 2. What process started in startkde is launching  kconf_update?

 Don't know

 3. Why is kconf_update being launched? 
 To regenerate a configuration file index IIRC

 4. Is there a way to prevent kconf_update from  running?

 Not a good idea

 Sorry! 
 Looks like kded might be causing this. There is a setting in KControl KDE
 Performance to disable system configuration startup checks. Possibly that
 can be enabled to stop kconf_update.

I would suggest filing a bug report on this.  Mark the priority to minor,
as this seems to only affect a small number of systems that have a
third-party binary blob installed.

We will need a stack trace from gdb attached to the bug report.  Best way
to do that is:
1.) Wait for the process to hang
2.) Switch to another console and find the PID of the hung process
3.) Start gdb with 'gdb'
4.) Issue these commands to gdb:
 a.) attach <PID you found above>
 b.) bt

gdb should now spit out a backtrace that can be attached to the bug
report.  You will of course need the debugging symbols installed for the
backtrace to be of any use. ;-)
