[SOLVED] kdelibs3 installed by unknown means

I've experimented something with xfce4.6 - and deleted it completely, only to notice my old openbox desktop is behaving strangely. It reloads some of the windows at the startup and they part-dissapear. At shell prompt I noticed "kdeinit" printing some messages. Ok...? Checked "ps ax" and saw kdeinit daemon running. Checked installed packages and saw kdelibs3 installed?

How did this get installed?? I never installed KDE in my life, at least not on this system.

EDIT: I feel so embareced now (finding solution few minutes after posing a thread). It seems compiz-fusion installed this. However, I do not understand how compiz-fusion can be so intrusive? Putting it's own daemons in the system-wide startup which can negatively affect other DE-s or WM-s??

Re: [SOLVED] kdelibs3 installed by unknown means

what's pacman -Qi kdelibs3 output for any packages that require kdelibs3? My guess would be something thought kdelibs3 was a dependency.
