I don't have a .XCompose, but I'm experiencing the same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu Intrepid, qt4 version 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.
My infinite loop has this:
stat64("/home/falcon/.config/
krusader.org/krusader.conf", 0xa55534c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
lstat64("/home/falcon/.config/

I also tried ltrace (ltrace -s -C -n 3 -S -o
trace.log krusader) and as far as I could discern, the infinite loop is
in _ZN7QWidgetC1EPS_6QFlagsIN2Qt10WindowTypeEE .The same problem shows up with all KDE apps, including Skype, Kedit, etc.
