FWIW I had a problem when first using kde with the new qt. For all the kde 
applications, but not kickoff (!?), the fonts were garbled (I knew it were the 
fonts because that is its usual place). Worse than a catchpa. :-) Note that 
other application had no problem, I have tested explicitly xterm and firefox.

I have tried first to remove any qt configuration files. It did not work.

I have then removed the .kde and .kderc (this is a test machine always running 
rawhide and so it had lots of garbage and it had nothing worth to save). The 
fonts now and all is working better than before. :-)

This is just a report in case there are further troubles, for moment I am 
inclined to consider this an outlier. :-)
