No... I just found the problem (or at least part of it). It's related to my
trueType font server (xfsft). I lately added unicode encodings to it (to play
a bit with the unicode stuff in Qt2.0). After removing all of the iso-10646
encodings from my fonts.dir file the problem is gone. 

I'd only like to know what really causes the problem. The thing is, that the
problem does only appear with kfm. Using any other app (including
kmail/kdehelp, which use khtmlw) does not trigger this behaviour. I'm a bit
clueless what could cause this. It might be that kfm for some strange reason
loads fonts with unicode encoding (which would take up quite some space in the
XServer).

Cheers,
Lars
