NAME
kded4 - KDE daemon - triggers Sycoca database updates when needed.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

 kded4 is responsible for creating the sycoca file, i.e. the binary cache of servicetypes, mimetypes, and services for a particular user.

It monitors the directories containing .desktop files. When a file is added/removed, it waits 5 seconds (in case of series of updates), and then launches kbuildsycoca4.
