I take it you're running KDE? I believe KDM is the K Desktop Manager. :0.0 is the name of your X Window display. Since it's running on your local machine, it can be abbreviated to the :0.0; if you were on a remote machine and wanted to run a program on your local display, you'd use the command,
export DISPLAY=<your IP address>:0.0 Thus, when you kill the process, you're killing your X Window display session.
