  Some further information: following some advice I found on a web
forum, I added the following line to ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals,
in the [General] section:

XftAntialias=true

  This fixed the problem for good. So pending the submitter's reply,
we might be able to move the bug over to KDE or something...

Thanks,
