It looks like the following:

Some HW (like SpeedStep on Thinkpads or SMP) lets the clock of Linux go
slightly backwards. This also explains why it helped some people to
disable kapm.

Negative time differences totally confuses qt/X11 when X11 uses
gettimeofday.

Egbert implemented an ugly hack in X11 which ensures that the clock never
goes backwards. 

After this workaround we could not trigger the problem anymore.
