Same here (and everywhere). By default kicker tells kdeinit to lauch
(well, load the shared lib version of konsole). And the QT_XFT setting
are not propagate to kdeinit.

error/problems.

I switched from white on black to black on light yellow and use AA fonts
(the M$ ones) always with konsole (on a TFT display).
A AA article on dot.kde mentions methods to use other AA algorightms AFAIR.
Maybe some of them work better for light on dark colors ... Never found the
time to try.
