Make sure you have all the X/Qt/KDE binaries and libraries
built for only -lthr (you didn't mention rebuilding X above).
To make sure mixing libthr with libc_r or libkse as a problem,
you can use /etc/libmap.conf to force libthr for libkse and
libc_r.  If you still have crashes, then that might point a
finger at libthr...
