DESCRIPTION

13        kded4  is  responsible  for  creating the sycoca file, i.e. the binary
14       cache of servicetypes, mimetypes, and services for a particular user.
15
16
17       It monitors the directories containing .desktop files. When a  file  is
18       added/removed,  it  waits 5 seconds (in case of series of updates), and
19       then launches kbuildsycoca.
