This is interesting. Most Linux malware is targeting servers which usually don't have Gnome or KDE installed.

It doesn't target KDE, it's just the developer of backdoor runs KDE, so a running process named kde looks innocent on his machine. Similar reason for .Xl1 folder: if rootkit hid .X11 folder, it would break xorg on the developer's machine. And some server distros allow to install with KDE interface.
