[openbox] Running KDE apps in Openbox

The autostart.sh script I am running has the following snippet:
--------
# Preload stuff for KDE apps
if which start_kdeinit >/dev/null; then
LD_BIND_NOW=true start_kdeinit --new-startup +kcminit_startup &
fi
--------
There are two issues with the above. The first is that start_kdeinit
exists on my PC but is not on $PATH, so cannot be found. The second
issue is that the version of start_kdeinit on my PC seems to have
different options, as seen below:
[xx at d3000 ~]$ /usr/libexec/kde4/start_kdeinit --help
Usage: kdeinit4 [options]
--no-fork Do not fork
--no-kded Do not start kded
--suicide Terminate when no KDE applications are left running
--version Show version information
Note that it references a different KDE executable, kdeinit4, and the
latter is on $PATH so can be found. Here are its options:
--------
[xx at d3000 ~]$ kdeinit4 --help
Usage: kdeinit4 [options]
--no-fork Do not fork
--no-kded Do not start kded
--suicide Terminate when no KDE applications are left running
--version Show version information
------------
Here is my question, specially for people that have experience running
KDE apps in Openbox: I think I should use kdeinit4 instead of
start_kdeinit, but if so, with which options or environment variables
(such as LD_BIND_NOW)?
I am running KDE version 4.6.2, and Openbox version 3.4.11.2.
