I too have the problem - and whats more, it only happens on one machine and
not the other. I am convinced it first occurred when I installed the
fontconfig package - and although removing the package varies the behaviour,
I can't get it to go back like it was. I suspect it has something to do with
upgrading to libxft2 - but what I don't know.
I used qt designer to write a test program to see if that was the problem, but
I can't get my test programme to reproduce the problem. I am slowing working
up to build a complete chrooted test environment and then to compile kde from
scratch and put debug on.
I have also reported it as a bug at bugs.kde.org
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52538
- - but have had no feedback that anyone else has the problem. I posted here
asking someone to check things but noone did. There is a screen dump of the
problem which I attached to the bug report - it can be found here
