1. KDE does not use pango. QT. However, I doubt KDE or QT are the problem.
2. If you upgraded xbase-clients to 1.7.1-ds3 which is on both testing and
unstable, that will do it. This was posted, in my opinion, prematurely. I got
a 1.7.0 version off debian snapshows. Putting that on still did not fix it
since apparently more damage was done. The following day, an upgrade to
xserver-xorg-core (??) and this did fix it. I have not reupgraded the 1.7.1
stuff.
