This is a guess more than anything, but KDE has things that run in the
background (kioslaves and such) for communication between processes.
I imagine they hang around to make it quicker next time you open up
Konqueror again.

Yes... I think?

They shouldn't really hurt anything.  You can't necessarily believe
top - a lot of processes use shared memory and so aren't consuming as
many resources as you may think.

If you want to take drastic steps, you could always switch to GNOME.
