Hmmm,
Well open /etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu with kedit and search for
telinit
the line should look like
grep -q "^id:5:initdefault:" /etc/inittab && telinit 5
If it doesn't, our problem may end there
Now the ~/.compupic/def.phd shows up in both directories so it is
something you are using, but what? I do not recall this one from
my experience. Could it be some resource file that runs?
Something is calling telinit during the boot or after login?
Which is it? And considering how definitely linux frowns on
self-modifying code(at the machine level), the text for the
telinit call almost has to be set statically into a file or
dynamically into an environment variable. See if you can dump
your environment with
printenv
If a variable is set to telinit or "telinit 5", then we need to
rgrep for it to find out where the setting is coming from.

Also, look at /etc/fstab and see if there are mounts after /proc
in the table order. If so, do the rgrep on each of those mounts
(/mnt/* excluded of course).
