xfstt and KDE3

Hi folks,
I recently decided to switch from Gnome to KDE wich I never used before.
Before doing so, I decided to fully reinstall my system. I used xfstt for my
TrueType fonts, and never had any problems with that.
I installed FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86-3.3.6_11, kde-3.1.3 and xfstt-1.6 all
from packages (I hate compiling, and my system does too due to lack of
diskspace at times).
Everything went well, I'm a happy KDE-user now, but for one thing: the
TrueType-fonts won't work in any KDE-app.
But when I invoke a GTK-based program (tested XMMS and the GIMP (GTK-1) and
AbiWord and gedit (GTK-2) ) the fonts work fine in that program. Also,
running xlsfonts | grep ttf gives me a fine list of my 57 fonts.
one odd thing though: when xfstt starts, it gives me an error about opening
the font database, then rebuilds it, syncs and works. It does that every time
again. I then tried xfstt-1.4 (wich I had on my previous install) wich works
fine (gives that error the first time, then it's happy).
Now, is this a KDE-related problem? It seems to be, cause everything else
works fine.
What to be done? Any suggestions?
(Please CC me, I'm not on the list)
thanks!
