To #6 (though I guess that Boban's answer was probably enough) edit /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
look for # Restart instead of resetting the local X-server after session exit. # Use it if the server leaks memory etc. # Default is false #TerminateServer=true should be in the Core config for local displays [X-:*-Core] section. Uncomment the TerminateServer=true option. If you do not have the prefilled option commented, just add it in the section above.
