Better check with 'cat /proc/<pid>/maps | grep kde', sometimes you have things 
like LD_LIBRARY_PATH set when running ldd, but not when the binaries were run.

I had exactly the same problem and I fixed it by adding 

[KDE]
AntiAliasing=false

to the kdeglobals file (if you don't mind having no antialiased text)
or :

1. Apply Lars' patch to Qt (it's attached)
2. copy the truetype fonts from the old X's CVS installation to the new 
xf86-4.0.2 rpm installation (in my case, 'cp 
/usr/X11R6-cvs/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype' )

Btw, you can make simple tests by just trying to run Qt's examples.
They even crashed for me before copying the truetype fonts to the appropiate 
location (before, this dir was empty and it seems that it caused problems)
I guess trying freetype2's cvs may also fix it, but I didn't want to 
recompile all that.

Hope that helps,
