I jumped the gun. The problem is not fixed but it is "less severe" in that I
am able to actually start konqueror and view a website or two, but soon
everything is broken again, no new apps can be started - konqueror is killing
the XFree86 font server. Since I always have a konsole up and running, first
thing (I run setiathome in it), I was able to go to it, login as superuser
and start the font server again and continue working.
If it wasn't for this, I would have to reboot because you cannot even logout
of kde when this happens - the logout dialog requires use of the font server,
which is no longer running.
CRAP!
