I saw this happen yesterday, quite some time after I had upgraded KDE to
3.2.1, so I don't think that's what does it.

I looked in /var/log/XFree86.log and saw an error relating to reading
VESA information from the video card. This caused it to default to 75
dpi instead of 100, resulting in very small fonts. So I restarted the X
server and the error was not repeated. Everything seems happy now.

So my guess is that this is a small, intermittent glitch in XFree86 4.3.
