Yes. And it takes care of shutting down tde after your windowmanager session is finished. And because it starts tdeinit before your windowmanager session, tdeinit does not show up in list of managed programs of your sessionmanager - if you use any.

$ man xinit

Just put the lines in ~/.xinitrc, restart your X session and look for tdeinit:
	
	$ pidof tdeinit

If it's there, then all is set and done. If not, rename .xinitrc to .xsession and retry. If again without luck, try renaming it to .xsessionrc . If unlucky again (you run GDM?), rename it to .xprofile (the guys from you-know-whose-name-we-do-not-speak-out-loud read the docs and decided to break things again).

Oh, you might have to make your .xinitrc executable ;-)
