I have delved a little deeper. It has nothing to do with the killproc. 
(But I should of-course also look into that. Looks like something from 
virtualbox.) When looking at the log, I see the following:
- Graphical is started and reached
- ‘Stop Read-Ahead Data’ is started.
- ‘Update UTMP’ is started.
- Then the startup is finished.
- About half a second later lightdm is closed, before the killproc.

I'll ask about it on an openSUSE mailinglist.
