With this information, I was playing around. I asserted that starting
the gnome-theme-manger, selecting a theme and closing the theme-manager
leaves a process called 'gnome-settings-daemon'. When this process is
running, the attachments are shown. So, I added a line to start the
gnome-settings-daemon before startkde in my .xsession. The
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't screw up my fonts and keyboard settings in
KDE, I cannot follow your problem. Thank you for this idea :)

Regards,
Gerhard.

Not every attachment is invisible. For example jpegs are shown with the
thumbnail.
Whats missing is an icon for .pdf files for example. The attachment is
just invisible.

I tried all the solutions that were described earlier. (installing
libgdk-pixbuf, hicolor-icon-theme, gnome-icon-theme) but nothing works.

What works and might help you to figure out the problem is to call
gnome-theme-manager and select _any_ theme. After that i see the icons.
But only for the one session and it totally screws the fonts and
